Hehe Well. I'm usually the first to say "I'm all ears" when someone comes up with a plan from the category "Best way to get shot", but in this case I have to pass on setting up our own cell tower, for now ;-)
:) nono, you misunderstand: the HK-based celltowers in the Huaqiang Bay area are *already there*, and do *not* go via China censors.
so there's absolutely no need to even have a VPN installed, so if you get stopped by the Chinese Authorities and electronic devices "searched", they'll find absolutely nothing suspicious.
pokefi got bought up recently: the price went up from $99 to (gosh, shock, $150). prices are USD $3 per gigabyte, HOWEVER, unlike many of the f*****rs who do devices like this, if you don't use it, the money STAYS ON THE DEVICE (for 2 years).
oh, and it's international roaming at a FLAT RATE. so that's USD $3 per gigabyte, confirmed (so far), in the UK, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Thailand, Japan, Huaqiang Bay, Singapore, Taiwan...
most companies providing 3G/4G-WIFI portable gateways:
* steal your money after a month, * require a 2-3 year contract (and steal your money each month) * do NOT have flat-rate international roaming * charge several hundred dollars for the actual device
