I think it will be a case of studying local SIMs for data bundles, then there's a bit of setting up the connection properties, username and password etc.

If it was only email, then Abroadband or a choice of useful modest roaming data bundles from various networks would be fine, but adding video means not only you need to find larger bundles on local SIMs typical for either tethering or use on a dongle, but also you'll need to find a UK based proxy to use the BBC iPlayer, as they don't make it available for all countries.

I think I'd have a USB dongle and a phone, but maybe just a dongle would suffice.
