Wireless Internet is another option. Some progressive cities such as Portland,
Oregon and San Francisco, California have wired their communities in such a way
that makes high-speed internet available to almost anyone with wireless

technology. Some other communities may offer this type of service for around $55

per month as well, although dependability and speed can vary.

In any event, if this seems expensive, remember that it’s a business expense that

can be taken off your yearly tax return. The cost of high-speed Internet service can

be partially offset by replacing your phone service with VoIP – “Voice over Internet
Protocol.” This essentially allows you to make telephone calls to anyplace in the
country (or the world, depending on your plan) of any duration for a flat monthly

fee. VoIP varies a great deal in price, depending on who’s furnishing the service. On

the low end, some companies charge as little as $17 per month, while others
charge as much as $35 – so again, it pays to comparison shop.
