Clearly the person in question will be roaming on business. As such using 
insecure facilities such as those suggested may be a very poor idea.

Very often business communications are time sensitive and confidential. 
Having such communications intercepted courtesy of an error at a cyber 
cafe or some interfering cache might be a serious problem.

Given that the charges for a global roaming ISP are reclaimable as 
business expenses I don't think it is a bad idea to use such a service so 
long as confidential communications are properly protected.
