Hello Michael, We've recently had a discussion here at the university where our office is based, which provided an interesting use-case scenario for SIM cards (if they were a bit more accessible at least):
The university houses a number of very different, usually "friendly", organizations which have access to the same local network. Some of the labs or commercial organizations have their own infrastructure, including a few with small parks of Sun Rays with their own Sun Ray servers. Although "friendly", these servers and orgs are not in position to establish computing-trust relations, common FOGs or AMGH, etc. SIM cards could be used to store networking profiles for the DTUs (server addresses, and perhaps VPN settings) so that we could use any Sun Ray DTU to connect to our own "home server", i.e. while visiting a colleague's office next door. In a real-world scenario this could mean Sun Ray kiosks at hotels, airports, etc. which can possibly allow clients to connect to their office networks, if the firewalls, VPN and general paranoia on the server-setup side permits that.
