    → Staff with personal cell phones: When using personally owned devices like cell phones, please check with your carrier for any costs or other considerations with activating or using the mobile hotspot feature. A very common carrier practice is to provide a small amount of high-speed mobile hotspot data, and after that the mobile hotspot feature is slowed down to the point where it is not usable.
