I'd say some pretty good security advice there, but I only connect to public hotspots where I am unable to receive a decent data connection. Unfortunately, due to the places I frequent a decent connection speed is not always obtainable!
By the looks of it, it doesn't look to difficult for the "Wrong Uns" to set up a fake hotspot and access all your personal info?
Be careful when connecting to allegedly free hotspots.

It's Monday and maybe nothing else making the news after a quiet weekend...who knows....

Wi-Fi with good security should be a good enough deterent however people using specialist network snooping tools which intercept data packets or otherwise store information such as browsing history isn't as secure as say a home network.
4G is great if you can get it and 3G is pretty good when you're getting HDSPA or HSPA+ I dare suppose. Unless you live in a well populated area not out in the sticks, you will be lucked out for a good reliable signal.
