I live near a university with an unbelievably fast network. The network in my apartment complex is shit. Every time I need to download something large, I've thought about planting a little device in the library and picking it up when the download is complete. $40 is cheap enough to risk theft or confiscation.

Criminals could park these in public WiFi zones to implement compute/storage nodes in a kind of Guerilla "cloud." Or give them mobile broadband and pay off truckers to keep them. (And activate a self destruct if the cops come around.)

It's actually $99 today. The article speculates it'll be under $40 in 2 years.
