If I switch to verizons broadband access form of inernet, will I lose the ability to share my connection?

I currently have 3 PC's in my house, one of which is a laptop. I have a broadband through my cable company going into my wireless router and being shared between all 3 computers, 2 tivos and soon my xbox as well.

I was actually considering going with verizons broadband access plan. Which provides wireless internet to your laptop(via PC card)pretty much anywhere they have phone coverage. It sounds cool. But then I am wondering if i would still be able to provide internet access to my other PC's and stuff.

I would assume since the PC card is required for the internet access, that it would only be provided to that one card connected to the laptop, thus only allowing the laptop to have internet. But since the laptop is connected wirelessly to my router, I suppose it could use ICS, but then I assume it would need to be on 24x7 for the other devices to use it.

So I really haven't fully looked into if it would work or not. So if you have any input on the subject, let me know.

Didn't talk to anyone about it, just seen it on thier website, didn't even look at it much there either, suppose I shoudl check it otu to see if there is more info there.

I just assumed it worked through the PC card, basically as though the card was like a cell phone, only with a constant connection.
