There have been about 10 times in the last few years when I have walked into a meeting someplace where there wasn't any guest wifi, or we needed the internal network for other reasons.

Here in Switzerland companies stopped granting guest access over the last few years. You're expected to bring your own infrastructure which usually boils down to tethering your mobile.

I can see that this is very much country dependent (we have truly unlimited plans that allow tethering), but at least for me, the smaller size of the machine trumps the ability to plug ethernet cables due to the general lack of available cables to plug.

Why, they don't have the skills to create a private wi-fi network for guests?

Why bother when your own 4G connection could be significantly faster than sharing a 100/100Mbit with 80 other people?

I never use guest networks for that exact reason. I know that my traffic and my connection is my own, and works. Way easier imo.

4G tethering using your mobile! It's probably a lot faster as well, and no stupid company restrictions and logging.
