I think I am going to get one just for the few trips I make to the USA every year (Canadian). I have an address in the USA so I doubt it would be a problem.

This could be just the thing I have been looking for to check my emails and servers (religiously) at a decent cost compared to hotel and internet cafe prices. Not to mention the added convenience value. Some places charge almost $19/day for short term access so paying $140/year would be a steal.

The idea I had originally went out the door when I read about their "Cellular Usage Index" aka "their solution to their freeloader problem".

Basically if you use more than "$19 worth" of cellular service per month... they boot you off of their networks.
