What happened to mobile internet /dongles?

I tried it in 2009 but it didn't work at my property . You don't hear of them now. Or am I mistaken??!

Wifi everywhere? Built in mobile internet in everything?

Data on phones is now so much cheaper that I can't understand why anyone would bother with a dongle that gave 30 mins of really shit internet for a tenner

We had a dongle at work last year for one of the engineers to use his laptop Inn tje building site cabin.

Most mobile phones can create a wifi hotspot/network using your cellular connection.

I think because your mobile also functions as a Wifi hotspot for your laptop or other devices that the dongle is going the way of the beeper.

You can just tether now, and mobile phone plans have insane amounts of data for fairly little money. Plus there's wifi everywhere.

They still exist, lots of DD's friends had data bank things at boarding school, she managed on just her phone
