This looks fairly neat. The "don't pay for a plan" part is a bit odd though... as far as I can tell you're only getting a year of free low-bandwidth data, and after that it'll cost you. I queried the creator on kickstarter... he said $3 a month would be a worst case cost for said connectivity after your initial year is up. Perhaps more importantly, he indicated that it would be possible to not use their server as a middleman, but that they need to get their analytics right before allowing that. Currently going through their server allows them to maintain sane data rates, apparently. Personally, I couldn't find a one-off GSM data only SIM for less than $8 a month in my searches... even at multiple year prepay... so this sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm maybe more interested in just the cheap dumb pipe option, but really their "middleware" server does sound handy.
