Hot spots to go

These cellular hot spots are fantastic companions on long car rides, offsite meetings, movie shoots on location, trade show booths, hotel rooms, beaches, airplanes stuck on runways and anywhere else where Wi-Fi is costly or nonexistent.
Unfortunately, the hot spots from Verizon or AT&T cost at least $50 a month.

But it goes beyond Maher. Give your money to people you like. Don’t give it to the people you don’t. Don’t make that a short-term boycott, make it a long-term strategy.

I dropped all HBO channels from my satellite package yesterday. It took five minutes on the phone. My dvd player came with netflix and amazon so I can see almost any movie I want when I want.
Yes, there are all kinds of gadgets that support this.
