 I have an application at work that uses Wi-fi hot spots to provide
 connectivity from AWS to a WAN via SSH. For $5/month, we pay for static
 IPs on the hotspots and inbound ports are open. The WAN nodes "phone
 home" and are identified by their IP, and we can SSH into a device on
 the far end.

 If anyone wants to run a BBS out of a van, that's the way to go.
