RovAir 3G WiFi Internet no long term commitment

Regular business or leisure travelers who wants WiFi internet access often rely on WiFi-enabled Cafés or hotels’ pay-per-use broadband internet. Despite the growing access of WiFi enabled areas, we are bound to find ourselves stuck in places without internet access sooner or later. It’s times like these we relish the convenience of wireless mobile broadband access.

Problem is, wireless mobile broadband is often long-term based subscription and tied to an extended contract. When you’re on the road and expecting to stay no longer than a week, the option of short-term wireless mobile broadband where you can rent by the day sounds very appealing.

RovAir, a New York based company founded last year, caters to this category of consumer travelers. The concept of renting WiFi internet data card was conceived when the founder rented a stroller for his baby. RovAir is now the leading day pass provider of wireless mobile broadband (WMB) aircards, datacards and evdo cards.

RovAir subscribes to long-term 3G providers (Sprint, Verizon and AT&T) and sell it to users who want short-term WiFi internet access minus the commitment. Subscribers to RovAir’s service are charged from as little as $5.95 a day on a 30-day plan. The daily fee triples to $15 if you rent it by the day (min of 3 days). That doesn’t include the shipping fee of $19.95 for RovAir’s AirCard.

RovAir promises a very mobile and versatile WiFi internet access without the necessary commitment. However, the cost for such convenience may be too high for many travelers with frugality in mind. RovAir is committed to bringing the cost of renting short-term WiFi internet access down. Business travelers on the other hand, flying in all-expenses-paid business trips who can’t be sure if there’s internet access available at their destination are the perfect market for RovAir.
