more expensive for Internet access than most any other solution, and
generally inferior to other options, too.
Even travelling 4 days a month (I used to travel twice that at least)
means you're spending $40 per month on hotel Wi-Fi -- you can get
cellular access for that (if not less) and not have to worry about
setting it up each time you check in, searching for good access spots,
etc. $10 a day for hotel Wi-Fi is "brainless" for a business
traveller because it's neither the most cost-effective nor easiest
solution to the problem.
My "personal standards" notwithstanding, spending $10 on something
that should cost a fraction of that, and multiplied times thousands or
millions, is the principal behind why many companies go out of
business.
And yes, despite my addressing you as "dude," I am a seasoned business
traveller and long-time technology advocate, so I know of what I
speak.
