I’m sorry about the bad image and sound quality. We are on a cruise ship in Hawaii right now. I’m using the Internet via a connection provided to me from Ustream.tv. This is, of course, a mobile broadband connection. I came up with some tips to help you deal with this type of connection, if you ever happen to be on a cruise.
- Buy larger packages of time. Most cruise ships have Internet available. The company will have packages available for sale. Always go with more minutes.
- Find a friendly cruise ship. All companies work differently with their connectivity. This company was pricey, so I’m not using their connection.
- Get a sponsor if you can. I was lucky to have Ustream.tv sponsor me for this connection.
- Turn it into a business expense. This will minimize the impact of the out-of-pocket cost. So long as I stream live from the ship and do some videos like always… it’s a business expense.
- Do what you can do offline. Write the blog post out offline, then post it once you get online. Or… get your emails ready to send, then get online. This will save you a lot of time and expense.
- If you can, rely on your existing phone for your connectivity. Some devices do work as a modem, and will work very well.
