The actual device of MiFi would be free for a period of a 2 year service commitment, or $99 for a 1 year commitment, on top of a fee of 1 time $50 configuration per device and for the iPassConnect service too. This particular service runs at $45 to $60 for a month per user in U.S. and will give 3G WAN wireless broadband access and easy Wi-Fi connections globally to about 160,000 hot spots as said by Rick Bilodeau, the vice president of the product and offer marketing at iPass.
