2025 was a big year for me. I traveled to cover events like MWC 2025 and IFA 2025, along with plenty of other smartphone launches. One thing I quickly realized while moving between all these places is just how unreliable the internet can be.
Wi-Fi outside my home, even in places like cafes, airports, and malls, is often patchy at best and a privacy risk at worst. Sure, I can rely on a VPN to make it more secure, but the connection being unreliable to begin with still makes it far from ideal for social media, work, or even staying in touch with friends and family back home.
