Um, but like, uh, a hotspot plan is 50 or 60.

I, I wonder where they would put, like, I know, I guess PC laptops exist.

I guess we can look, just look this up.

Um, but I do worry like that, that eventually Apple will give us a cellular Mac book and AT&T will want 60 bucks a month for it.

But anyway, uh,

Yeah, mobile hotspots, what amazing capability in such crappy electronic devices.

So like the monthly rates for Starlink are a lot lower than they used to be.

But a 5G hotspot is still cheaper though.

The other thing that I will advocate for 5G hotspots, which is way better than tethering, is that...

When you have a hotspot like in your backpack and you open up your laptop.

It's ready.

Yeah, because the hotspot is broadcasting a Wi-Fi network.

So it's like Wi-Fi.

So when you open up your laptop, it's online.

Like just immediately, it's on.

It's really nice.

Like that's, you know, it's, you know, the boot up time for the hotspot is not great, as I was saying, if it isn't on.

But if you're like going in and out of stuff all day and you have one in your bag that's just sitting there on all day.

It's like all of your devices are on Wi-Fi all the time.

So it also helps, for instance, if you have some other device that needs Wi-Fi, like if you have a Kindle, if you have a remarkable tablet, any other kind of device, if you have one of these stupid new AI gadgets, if you have anything like that,
