My one traveller's tip for remote connectivity is Kinko's.

Yes, Kinko's. You can walk into any Kinkos with a laptop, sit down and connect your laptop to their network, and use their bandwidth to your hearts content --- without paying a cent. I did this repeatedly on a few-week road trip I took last December, and never got hassled (or even had an eyebrow raised at me) by an employee once; they genuinely don't seem to mind.

You are of course right to prefer such features in your actual accomodations, but I found that where that wasn't possible, knowing I could at least do a morning stopoff to check mail & blogs was a happy thing...

At the risk of tripping over one of the corollaries to Godwin's Law, for me, life since 9/11 hasn't so much seemed like one of Ken's futures (although let me add a brief digressive hat-tip here to Mr. MacLeod for his fine, fine novels).

It's been a Heinlein future: Solution Unsatisfactory, to be precise. Wolfowitz isn't Colonel Volkov. He's Colonel Manning.
