Define access the internet please...

It's basically a device that plugs into a USB port that will give you access to an existing wireless network. So you would need either a wireless hotspot like some cities or stores have or a wireless network in the place you plan to use your laptop at.

Yes, but you need a wireless access point first.  Either a wireless modem or a wireless router (or a Starbucks).  That just lets your PC receive the internet wirelessly.
