I think this is a bit on the high side (for an individual to pay), but I can forsee this being quickly adapted in the corporate IT rank and file, for people who travel and need high speed, secure (VPN) connections to their employers networks.

In my experience, it all too often happens that you can get high speed network connections everywhere but at a clients site (in your home office, in hotels, but never while at a client's site -- exactly where and when you need it most). In today's business models of selling services, with the workforce living in far-flung places, and traveling to their jobs at countless client sites, this is the next logical step in broadband connectivity: high speed network access anywhere, being sold at a premium price until some competition comes along.
