The good people over at Verizon Wireless have announced the availability of the ZTE Fivespot global hotspot which will be internationally compliant, as it plays nice with the CDMA 1xEV-DO Rev. A/Rev. 0: 800/1900 MHz, WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA: 850/1900/2100 MHz, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. This device will be out from October 7th onwards (which is just three days away), where you will have to fork out $99.99 for it with a 2-year service contract – and this is after sending in a $100 mail-in rebate. You can check out the available domestic and international data plans in the extended post. [Press Release]
