That's all well and good but it still doesn't the question about how we are to do updates while out of the country. By leaving "Data Roaming Off" you will only be able to use wifi to get your updates. Some hotels charge you for each IP address you use or you can either use your own computer/ipad to get online with for free or the company iPad. As for me I have been carrying a small router for years now so I will not have a problem but what if you don'.
Just saying.....
