Disclosed are methods and systems for connecting a set-top box (STB) to
the Internet over existing and future wireless networks, combining television with
wireless Internet access. A conventional television is used in combination with
a STB that has a wireless or wired keyboard, a power supply, and audio/visual connections
for connecting the STB to the television. In an embodiment, a wireless telephone
is placed in a docking station on top of the STB, providing the user with both
data (when docked) and voice capabilities (when being used simply for telephone
calls). CDMA, CDPD, or other wireless technologies may used for connection to the Internet.
