THEN Verizon got slapped with an FCC fine and had to allow WiFi apps back into the app store and quit charging their extortionist $20/mo for using a 4G phone as a WiFi hot spot due to a commitment they made (then conveniently forgot) when they bought the 4G spectrum.

That's what I use with the laptop if I'm somewhere with no WIFI.
