Is the need for an "International" SIM Card ending?

Wifi is nice but not a true alternative. Yes there are free wifi hotspots but do you want to share your login information thru an unsecure wifi ?
My biggest problem with wifi is range. You have to stay within the wifi hotspot, you can't walk away.
Yes there are many free wifi hotspots but still you have to pay for many. The funny thing is the cheaper the hotel the more free wifi you will find. Many 4 and 5 stars hotel will charge you outrages prices for wifi.
Just visited paris and checked some hotel, some charge 10 euro per day, some 5 per hour.

No wifi is a nice addon, but not a technology you wan't to rely on if you want to make calls anywhere everytime.
