Fail to see how it can be a problem, just DON'T DO IT!!
When you stuck on a train in China, and need a quick google translate, Just dont do it is not an option ... Its basically extortion.. you have no alternative, everyone does it, so they charge the earth ... when travelling to Europe or the States .. for sure, you mostly get wifi, but trying to hop onto every wireless hotspot while moving around is ridiculous, when all you want is your email to come through or your skype im's to come through. The model is flawed, and needs o be modernized. There are millions of people travelling to some seriously remote places where wifi is not an option .. providers just need to stop RIPPING people off for roaming .. simple as that ..
It should basically just get capped at whatever the price is for "pay as you go" type data contracts in whatever country you are in .. simple solution, simple implementation ..
