    I have a USB Internet Stick from "CLEAR" that I use on my laptop to gain instant internet access.
    Is there a way to connect that same USB Internet Stick to the PB?
    Instead of using the "teddering" function with my BB-Bold which is $10 more a month, is there a way for the PB to use a regular USB Internet Stick to gain access to the internet?

    No, because PB does not have a standard USB port and it would not work if it did (as of right now..)

    I don't know much, but even if the USB-Host support available on PlayBook, I'm not sure that it will able to dial-up the modem function.

    ps: get a cheap bluetooth-modem capable phone, and put the sim card from your USB Stick to it. Then use the Internet Tethering features.

    Forget making a USB Internet thing'y work ....
    The only ways to do this is to tether the PB to the phone then go to Internet OR use bridge browser

    Get a mobile wifi hotspot for GSM/3G.
    Perfect solution.
