Staying connected to the internet has always been challenging! Conveniently turn your smartphone or dedicated device into a mobile hotspot, sharing its cellular data with others nearby. Those nearby can now surf the web wirelessly – wherever they may be.
What Is a Wifi Hotspot?
A hotspot is where people can access the Internet via a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a device (e.g. router or a mobile phone ) connected to an Internet service provider. Most call these locations “Wi-Fi Hotspots”

Isn’t there anyone out there but the big guys with their sky high prices? I can get a data plan on a phone for a fraction of these prices, but can’t yet find one that works on a dedicated hotspot.
