I am not the OP and don't live in a third-world country (San Francisco Bay Area) but find my PB modem indispensible (1) during power outages, (2) at the numerous hotels that still don't have broadband or charge very high prices for it or (3) when I'm staying with less-technologically minded relatives who scarcely know--or care--what broadband is. I've even used it when visiting a very high-tech company in Germany where I couldn't hook into their network but could easily use a phone line. David
