Roaming certainly isn't an option for many people. For me roaming would
cost 3.40 EUR per MB, while the "expensive" local plan seems to be 1
CAD per 10 MB (virginmobile.ca prepaid, pay per use).

Whoa, I can pay 0,60 EUR / 50 KB; but I also have day and week passes
at 3 EUR / 20 MB / day or 10 EUR / 75 MB / week. (Always find out if
you have any such weekly option, per-volume rates are crazy expensive).

The DebConf page has a list of important dates, but somehow this was missed:

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all the discussion here and for the much expanded
wiki/FAQ entry. Exactly the kind of information I was after. Much
appreciated!

Cheers,
Chris
