Yup, we have the sticks in Canada, but AFAIK they go into a USB port - if you are using a device with no USB they don't help (and network data on e.g. iPhone can be a) astronomically expensive (when roaming) or not supported (depending on country etc). Also on the sticks, you need a data plan as well - great if your company will cover it, but not so great if you are self employed (i.e. comes out of your pocket, albeit a business expense) / your employer will only cover one device (say your cell) for data etc.
