Wifi is ubiquitous here in NYC for example. That is not the case in Europe. Free wifi might exist in hotel lobbies or Starbucks but the wifi is often weak and thereby almost useless. Hotels often charge for wifi in the rooms and those charges can be exhorbitant.

Why there isn't a SIM card that provides data coverage throughout much of Europe like the Euro is the one currency through much of Europe is asinine. In Berlin, I went to 02, Vodaphone, E-Plus, Deutche Telekom, and Saturn (they sell O2) — all sales reps said that they WISH they could sell one SIM card with a data plan good throughout Europe.
