Other than geeks, who pays for connecting an iPad to the cellular network?
People who have lives and leave the reach of wifi.

Dear, oh dear. Just a suggestion, but maybe you encourage your offspring to look out the window. You know?
It isn't to save power. It's because if you left it on, everyone would leave it on. Radio Spectrum is one of our plants most precious resources, and we need to be mindful of that.

Where do you get it for "a couple extra bucks". AT&T wants to charge me $10 extra per device. With 4 people on our plan we have 4 iPads and 2 iPad Mini's that can be used outside of WiFi. That would be $60 per month to allow any of them to be used without tethering. I am now waiting to order the new iPad Mini's. I am planning to get the Cell Version because I want the GPS but still plan to use tethering to get around the extra $10 per device. If it was really only $2 (couple of dollars) per month per device I would do that instead. But I really think there should be no per device charge since you are paying for the amount of data. Also, iOS should really pass the GPS Signal to the tethered device. I think there is a Android App that does that.I think you might have it backwards. Geeks are more likely to tether and your average person is more likely to buy a cellular version. I personally don't like tethering and would rather spend a couple extra bucks to get what I want.
So....no kids, eh?

If you need a hotspot to run 24 hours, don't get a new iPad Air to do it. You'll be running through your overall life expectancy of your iPad and it's a lot cheaper just to buy a cheap little hotspot.
That's an impressive amount of time, considering the reduction in battery size for the Air.
Since most iPad users have a smart phone and already paying for data, I don't see why to get a cellular enabled iPad as well. You can setup the phone as a hotspot just as easily and access the internet thought it, without paying extra for the cellular hardware. But that's just me.
Pretty much anyone who needs to use one outside the bounds of a 802.11 network?

Question: I have an ipad mini with an unlimited data plan from AT&T. Can I use it as a hotspot? And if I buy an iphone off contract, with no phone or data service plan...can I tether it to my ipad?

He was probably saying that most people just tether to their smart phone so they don't have to pay for two data plans.
Any current ios product, iphone 3gs and above, can be used as a hotspot. It's built into the operating system.
Yeah, but will I have to pay more to tether? I currently pay $29 a month for my unlimited data plan for my iPad mini. Yeah, I was an early adopter. So, would I have to pay anything extra to tether an iphone to it?
Great battery life, really poor data speeds.
