Good point. I failed to mention that mobile hotspots may be available from your home internet provider, too. In the case of Time Warner, I believe they have a partnership with Verizon Wireless to support 3G/4G access. My guess is that the actual mobile hotspot devices are identical to those available from VZW.
In any event, it's a good idea to shop around if you go this route. A few carriers, e.g. Virgin Mobile, offer what amount to "pay as you go" mobile hotspots. Such deals aren't necessarily more economical than long term contracts depending on how often you use a cellular network but for the very occasional user (such as those who need access only for occasional trips) it may be a good deal.
