What's the point?

I live in India and in Feb I was in Sikkim, a mountainous state near the border. I had 4G/LTE. You can get 50GB of mobile data for like 3 bucks.

This problem has been solved.

I worry about not having connectivity when I travel in the US/Europe. It's far less developed there.

A 4G hotspot for regular desktop work is simply unreliable due to latency and network congestion issues in major Indian metros. Also, you can do a whole lot more with 1 Gbps of bandwidth v/s 40 mbps.

I live in a remote village in India, working from home currently. I use my 4G mobile hotspot (Jio) for my work and I didn't face any issue till now. I normally attend team meetings, development and some Youtube.

On the contrary, in cities the network is less reliable with 4G as you said.

That's barely solving the problem. Consumers and businesses want high-speed low-latency reliable and unmetered connectivity; which is the exact opposite of mobile data plans.
