What is the interest level in Europe for this mode of communication?
What exactly is a "cellular data card"? Hello Kris,
The card is a PC Card which incorporates a USB controller, a USB modem, and a cell radio. The computer interacts with it using conventional AT commands like it is a conventional modem, so you would use a dialer like InJoy to tell the modem to dial.
The card uses EVDO technology which, according to one source, is only available in the U.S.:

You can learn more by Googling for "Sierra 5220" and "EVDO"
Have a great day!
