AT&T announced a new a-la-carte option for mobile users — a $5 day pass aimed at tablet users who need short-term data access.
The new $5 plan cellular plan includes 250 MB of data access for 24 hours, which is a much better rate than hotels and airports typically charge — though some who don't charge offer unlimited free Wi-Fi.

AT&T is also now offering a $25 plan for up to 1GB of data over a three month period.
“We really think that a Wi-Fi only tablet is good, but it is not good enough,” said AT&T Senior Vice President Chris Penrose, speaking at GigaOm's Mobilize event Thursday. The cost of adding a cellular module to tablets is also going down, Penrose said.
“We’ve seen that price go down substantially over the past several years,” Penrose said. “Ultimately we’d like to see tablet manufacturers build just one tablet," he added in remarks reported by AllThingsD.
