Cellular is too slow, if you are engaged in collaborating on large  proposals or project document reviews.  This type of activity may exchange several megabytes of data per night.  I also have a sprint card for my pc and don't use unless there is absolutely no other alternative.

"Business" is too broad a term for classifying needs/value.  What works for your business does not work for mine, dude.

Dude, don't get bent out of shape.  My point was that $10/day is way
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.

is beyond me...I guess it's just all the brainless business travelers
who think, "whatever...I'll get reimbursed."
