again: * 3G stick aka mobile broadband as WAN connection * that WAN connection is shared in the LAN * the single machines don't know anything about the WAN connection believe it or not, but here in austria it's not uncommon to get a box with 3G and on the other end a ethernet-port where you connect your devices and have some hundret MB per month in the meantime many of that packages are going in the direction ulimited traffic, but that's nothing you can be sure about as OS supplier
