Many DSL/cable modems come with WiFi nowadays. Some of them even support USB host mode and provide a USB port, so you could stick a printer/HDD in it. Or a USB WiFi adapter. Or power up your N900.

FWIW, I think MIFI supports USB OTG.

To solve lack of USB host mode the best option is IMO some kind of small converter/modem which allows the NIT to connect to a mobile USB OTG device. Optionally with its own battery. Or, some kind of USB powered hub which provides this. Like a 'USB router' which also serves as server for N900 and all other devices lacking USB host mode because it supports itself USB host mode. Does this exist?
