That is exactly the case for me. When I travel I make a special point to make sure I always stay at hotels with WiFi. But there are times their network maybe down, get an urgent call in the field that needs immediate attention that cannot wait until I find a WiFi hotspot, etc... My phone then becomes a rare last ditch option.

I always need to know what options are available to me and at what cost in order to gauge the action I need to take. I.E. Sprint may not care at all if I use tethering for 30 minutes once every few months. If it is an issue with Sprint, then if I need it on a trip, is $39.99 for PAM for that month cheaper than $9.99 a day for hotel high speed access for that week or a month of WiFi HotSpots.
