Is Apple TV portable?

...now hotels is not enough to give you the capability to check your email, they have to provide you with enough bandwidth for video streaming?...

If they want to remain competitive, yes. Heads-in-beds is the industry mantra -- in a competitive industry like travel lodging -- the better the tech, the higher the occupancy. Duh

You setup Airport Express to be a normal gateway/access point.

When iPhone connects, it will be pissed off because there may or may not be no internet, but it will connect.

Airplay should show up as an option for streaming.

So that I'm not being completely dense, the iOS device (iPad, in my case) will use its cellular data to get permission from the Apple servers to approve playback of a rented movie, but won't use additional cellular data while watching the movie via Airplay...right?

Just trying to avoid a situation where four days into a 2 week international trip, Verizon pings me to say I've already used a month's worth of data.

Shouldn't.
Put in Airplane mode, and turn wifi on. People rent itunes all the time and then watch on Airplane.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. My wheels are spinning in a more focused direction now!
