Karma. Some say it makes the world go round. If someone does something terrible in life, people say that Karma is gonna get em. Do something good that no one notices, Karma is gonna sort that out to your benefit someday… no need to rush things.
WiFi has Karma, too, but not the kind of Karma that you are thinking of. I am thinking of this kinda Karma.
The Karma of WiFi.
My friend. My buddy. Karma is there when I need it. But what is it you ask?
Karma is the world. Karma is work. Karma is play. Karma is incredible WiFi wrapped up in a little box that fits nicely in my backpack. My Karma is for when I am on the road and a client calls saying that we have just crushed this year’s attendance goals and my team needs to start looking for overflow hotels… NOW. Karma is or for when the conference center WiFi crashes and you have 50 people waiting in line. Karma is for when the coffee shop has crappy slow WiFi because 400 hipsters are all trying to connect while sipping Mocha-Soy-Double-Pump-No-Whip-Triple-Foam-Extra-Hot-Lattes.
Karma is my internet lifeline with no catch. It’s just a simple little device that gives me a 4G LTE WiFi connection when there is no other connection. It works like a charm, too—no problems whatsoever, and I take this thing with me all over the country.
But why this device? Why not get something similar from AT&T, Verizon, or WeRobEmMonthly? The reason is that Karma is pre-paid, and the data doesn’t expire. I pay upfront. Simple…. Let’s say I order 4 gigabytes of data… I am set until the 4 gigabytes runs out. To give you an example, I bought a few gigabytes in June, and I am still using it (I use it when I need it, so your results may vary you data hound).
A bonus is that Karma supports up to 8 connections at one time, so if you are sitting with a co-worker, client, or friend, everyone can get online and feel the bliss of knowing that you have your interwebs right there at your fingertips. Karmic bliss.
