Mark,
All the major cell phone carriers sell devices that allow you to get internet broadband over 3G/4G without a cell phone. They offer a variety of devices, usually either in the form of a USB "thumbdrive" or a wireless (wifi) hotspot. These devices actually are cell phones and have their own number, you just can't use them to make a call. They don't seem to advertise them much, probably because they aren't as profitable as smart phones.
I've used AT&T, Virgin Mobile (Sprint) and Millenicom (Verizon). I don't recommend Virgin or Sprint, but AT&T and Verizon's 3G services are pretty good. Cost is around 60 bucks a month with a 5 GB cap. Millenicom offers a 20 GB cap for $60/mo. Be careful and check with them first before selecting a plan, as they use both Sprint and Verizon and you probably want to use Verizon. Most of the service providers have maps that show where their 3G/4G service should work.
I recommend getting a USB modem rather than a hotspot. If you need WiFi, there are routers specifically for this purpose; Cradlepoint is probably the leader in routers made specifically for use with USB 3G/4G modems.
