+1 No gotchas. I travel internationally, and everywhere it just works. Bills for international data, used heavily for navigation, and information, but not video streaming, are never more than $5.

Was on a ship passing Morocco, and got a message to say "no service here yet" but Europe and Caribbean are no problem. My wife has corporate Verizon with international options enabled, but she invariably borrows my phone for calls and hops on my (free) hot-spot. With hotel or other wifi, you can call (or Skype) for free. It's close to free anyway if you're not a chatter.

I fully agree with the parent.

In this instance you seem vulnerable to a flip. They will lock you up with and exclusive "marketing period" then sell an exclusive license to Google (Youtube) or Vimeo in an afternoon, and go looking for their next victim. You could probably get a higher price if you took longer to negotiate, and not share a cut with them. If you refuse the deal they make, you will forever be blocked from selling to "their" buyer.

Some of my best friends are in this business. Some of them are ethical. They all love money more than technology.
