Media Works vs Media Net

I would like to know the difference in these two data plans besides the
$10 difference.

I want to buy a new Nokia 6032 and tether it to my laptop via cable or
Bluetooth. Will these plans work with a laptop? Are there any extra
charges that I should be aware of?

I now have Verizon with a Kyocera phone tethered to my laptop. I have
been happy with the Verizon service, but my primary usage area is now
West Central Louisiana. Verizon has no coverage here except though
Sprint.

I don't want to get tied into a Cingular contract where I can't use my
laptop while traveling. What software/cable kit will I need with the
Nokia 6032?

One last question...I promise <G> Can I turn the Media Works/Net on
and off without paying a fee?

MediaNet is strictly a data plan.
MediaWorks also includes text and multimedia messaging.

Cingular has better data coverage nationwide than Verizon Wireless.
That's because with GSM you can use data on another carrier's system,
where with Verizon Wireless, you're pretty much stuck to the Verizon
Wireless towers (and not able to use data on Extended Network or Roaming).
