Well, .

But the situation is a bit different here in Iran. We're going through different changes in economy and energy consumption.
Aside from bandwidth costs, people are advised to keep their unused electronics off.

I have to be picky to find those who are mostly connected and do not care much about leaving their routers on all the time.
Yet, the use of USB host routers for network sharing is not a widespread option,
and people prefer to do have storage installed on their computers and go for an average/minimum featured router, if not mobile services.

Believe me or not, I am in a lab which is literally a 2-decade museum of networking history, yet I had difficulties to find a permanently free USB port among the devices.

Thanks for your kind attention,
