In Europe it's way cheaper to buy mobile data than paying for fuel to drive to an open access point...

I mean the trains have free wifi in the Netherlands, so that kind of works.

More expensive than just driving to your destination though.

Don't forget: we have those crappy UPC routers everywhere. In every street, at least 5-10 are still upcgen affected and 1-3 usually never change the default passwords.

It gets worse once you dig deeper and find out how T-Online, vodafone and o2 hotspots work.
