    I got almost the exact line from our corporate telephony people; contract is based on typical use of 5GB per month, no pooled data, and something like $70/per gig over 5. My folks can generate 5 GB of data on a single drone flight. You'd think being part of Fortune 50 mega corp with real lawyers and contract specialists, we could have got a better deal.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    BMB, why do you want the internal WWAN card inside the laptop versus just a simple/universal Mifi device or simpler yet, just use the hotspot function on a smartphone to provide wifi services for your laptop when you need it?

    I just wanted it to be internal to the laptop and not have another item to lug around. I wanted simplicity. I'm on the cheapest smartphone system there is, Tracfone. I doubt in a local crisis I get priority over FirstNet users. I will probably end up with both systems for redundancy.
