My experience of mobile internet is that, from speaking with telco salespeople a couple of years back, is that mobile internet is no faster than dial up so there is zilch benefit and they may as well use dialup in motel rooms. Also, most motels offer broadband connections at hourly rates.
I would ask the telcos what speed they can deliver on mobile broadband. It may have improved since I asked.
