Yeah, in your case it doesn't make a whole bunch of sense to go Wind: stick with what works. Thankfully with the addition of Wind, Bellusgers and co. will be forced to be competitive which likely means lower rates and/or newer plans. So indirectly that $480 you're paying could be lower still -- or have more features -- thanks to Wind!

I'm also around WiFi 98% of the time and use VoIP exclusively, but I find that when I'm out and about, public WiFi doesn't offer the latency and low-jitter that SIP calls seems to demand. I always get complaints on the other end of speech breaking up or dreadful voice latency. I've contemplated getting a server and forwarding voice-data over a PSTN trunk to a mobile number (say a fido phone), but that also costs money ($35-$50/mo), and I lose the benefit of walk-around data. So for me (an avid VoIP user) the $50 Wind combo works out well.

Also, I'm generally not a fan of picking and choosing public locations that offer free WiFi. While they're generally not too hard to find (excluding illegal leaching), it still requires planning and foresight, and often the service is just 'ok'. Having a high-speed walk-around-web would be tremendously liberating for someone like me that uses it almost exclusively for work. This is especially true in the summer time.

Thankfully, due to no-contract and pay-before plans, I should be able to determine my usage over time and modify my account to suit.

But these are entirely personal use scenarios, and I fully understand and respect other use cases.

Now lets hope they open up their spectrum to unlocked devices! There's a lot of N900/N1 lovin' to be had!

By the by, I went by the location that I thought had the Wind Kiosk, but it turns out it was at a different location. So I'll try to make it out that direction and report back!
