What will happen when this goes out of 'beta'? Will they start charging? What is their business model? I’m tempting to get this but I will be out of town for a while.

If I get too far out the coverage starts to drop out. Luckily I mostly need to use it while here in the Twin Cities driving around, so it works great - not bad for a free device!

I live and work in Baltimore, so coverage is great. My hotspot actually saved my tail during hurricane Sandy when we were ordered to work from home and my Comcast internet went down. Miraculously, Clearwire's towers were still up and I was able to work and get paid thanks to this device that cost me just an $89 deposit. If the company goes out of business and I never see that deposit, I'm still ahead by a couple hundred $ thanks to that storm. I’ve been loving Freedompop.

I live in Seattle and all 3 devices have the refundable deposit. Maybe it varies by location? I live in Seattle and all 3 devices have the refundable deposit.

That must be a relatively recent change. I ordered my Photon around the beginning of last month and received it toward the end of the month. Thanks for the heads up.

They now sell the Photon and the Rocket, instead of lending it to you with a refundable security deposit. The USB "Freedom Stick" is still lent out under a deposit. -dk I just now looked at the website [at 1:09PM PST 11/09/12 ].
