Aside from the $30 entrance fee (granted, only one time, but still annoying), it really only helps me with my laptop. I can't get other devices online, and it's a good deal of annoyance if I need that software on my laptop.
Again, I don't think you even have to pay that if you use Bluetooth. That's what I was told. I can check it out tonight.
And just use your laptop to share the internet connection it's getting from the phone. I know, it's not ideal, but if you have some sort of network switching utility (buy a Mac), it should be fairly painless. Any remaining configuration (of the other clients) is the same effort as with a MiFi, unless you're thinking of other devices of yours that might be connecting via the MiFi at the same time the laptop is not.
