[BC] Las Vegas WiFi

[Broadcast List USER]

Ah, that's easy.

I have an Airport Express that I have considered adding to my travel  
kit, but have yet to do it.  Maybe I will buy a new one now that they  
are 802.11(n).  The one I have does stream music and run a networked  
printer, but if I took it my wife wouldn't care as she doesn't listen  
to the music or use that printer.

On the other hand, last year we picked up a Sprint USB cellular data  
radio.  That pretty much takes care of the WiFi problem, but it tends  
to be slower than good hotel WiFi, but it is better than a lot of  
hotel WiFi.  Not only that, but it is only $50 per month, which is  
easy to reach at $10-$15 a month for hotel WiFi.

Cradle Point makes WiFi routers that accept a USB "modem" and will  
share it with from five to (if I recall correctly) 30 devices  
(users).  Thirty users on a cellular data connection is going to be  
very rough.

I mistakenly thought you were plugging a cellular "modem" into your  
computer and sharing via the computer's WiFi.  I have done that, but  
wasn't able to get the other users to be able to use VPN.
