This is from a post grad student in the US (a friend of a friend). I'd
think that one of the mobile broadband sticks (Reliance, Tata, etc)
might be the trick, but I'm not sure how easily and how fast a

Well, then, let me also ask for help. I am going to Bhutan for two
weeks in November and want some reliable way of keeping in touch (at
least in the time we are in "coverage" areas... any ideas you can pass
on please? I won't have any trouble getting an interest stick, or
dongle, or whatever it's called.

The last time I was in Bhutan, I found the roaming charges were
_outrageous_. Vodafone, for instance, charges Rs.130 per minute outgoing
from Bhutan and others weren't much better. GPRS is Rs. 5.5 per 10 KB :)
