Great way for U.S. customers to roam!

I think TMobile's Hot Spot at home is an interesting solution. I do pretty much the same thing using my E61. I mostly use Truphone on it, but also have Fring.

The thing I was curious about with TMobile's Hotspot at Home was what ports it uses and how similar the UMA protocol was to the industry standard protocols. Whle the program is still relatively small, it occurred to me that some of the problems people have visiting places such as D ubai, might be eliminated

Well, I actually was going to go to T-Mobile today to query about the HotSpot@home, but, I'll ask here.

Of course, I am international half the year, so, this potentially is great, and I had thought about this when I heard about the service.

But, must I carry around the T-mobile Wifi router, or, can I use my Apple airport Express I carry with me, to make my hotel rooms wireless?

Meaning, is the HotSpot@home a software based connection from via any Wifi phone (like my TyTN), or, is it something you can use any Wifi phone, but also exclusive only through using their Wifi router?
