Use With Caution
Vodafone has launched a secure GPRS-based remote access product for European business travelers. Typically this is a pretty price insensitive market. But you have to wonder just how expensive it is when the Vodafone spokesperson throws out this disclaimer, “If the system is used sensibly, it may work out cheaper than dialling into the company’s network from a landline in a hotel.” Translation: don’t expect much except a really big bill.
