What is the term of the contract? I have a family cabin in an area that is not served by cable, it's not a place I am going to spend 12 months or whatever and at $100/mo I am probably not going to pay for 12 months out of the goodness of my heart. But I would love the ability to go up for a couple weeks or a month and just work from up there. Could I sign up month by month, or for say a quarter at a time?

Or I guess more generally, as an existing user of the service who is seeing dashboards I'm not seeing, how do you think this would play out for "occasional" users.

there is no contract for the beta, it's month to month, you can cancel whenever you want. unknown what they will do in the longer term.

there is no seasonal 'pause' service plan offered yet.
