The Pay As You Go data revolution

In the Dixons technology shop at Heathrow Airport today I was delighted to see these PAYG broadband USB sticks hanging near the laptops. The package was cheap as chips. I really wish other countries would duplicate this kind of offer, especially in North America.

  1. Tell me about it. I'm off to NYC on hols in April and thought no problem – I'll get a PAYG sim but hit a few issues
    * PAYG itself doesn't seem so easy to find in US (on the web sites)
    * Mobile data barely features on any of the web pages/tariffs – really needs digging around
    * Eventually T-mobile flexpay (1 month no contract) seemed best bet but still 60 USD+taxes, and no idea on what limits are provided.

    So glad I live in a country that has a thriving competitive mobile market!

    Frankly I just don't get it. Civilized? Nope.
