wouldn't it be cheaper to get a mobile router and a mobile flatrate for the country? Where I live 15€ would buy 1gb for a month.

I have wondered about easily obtaining prepaid cards for travel, might be a business opportunity if there is no good solution yet?

There are a few international sim-card providers, but I don't think any of them are really good. It is a business opportunity for sure, but it's also somewhat complex.

I usually try to get my hands on a local card when I travel, but the rates (and availability) varies significantly between countries.

I have used this guy for pre-paid SIM cards:

He is basically a one man shop owner but is very knowledgable and reliable.

If you know of any source of such SIM cards, please post it here!

I've seen plenty of international-travel SIM cards that give cheap[er] texts and voice calls, but none that include any data. And trying to set up a pre-pay data SIM from a foreign ISP in a language you don't speak/read is a nightmare ...
