Questions about Wifi While Travelling

Are you still concerned about security if using hotel WIFI which requires a password ?

Yes.  you are on the same network as others.  There would have to be a firewall between each user.  This is the same as if you logged on to a wifi in a coffee house.

How is that less secure than using the TEP mobile WIFI? Don’t they both connect mobile device to cell tower through the WIFI?

Tep has a firewall to a cell tower.  It is specific to you.  It changes your phone into a local cellphone through the wifi connection.  Of course, if you have an international plan, you could connect directly to the cell tower.  I don't think there would be much difference, except perhaps in the future, when the bad people are hacking cell towers like they do networks today.
