Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current Microsoft stunt is using a T-Mobile portable WiFi connection, so is only possible in the US. For any other countries, unless they'd tied up with a local provider, this wouldn't really be possible.
I have T-Mobile in the US, but in practice I get a different T-Mobile prepaid GSM SIM when I visit the UK.
I haven't actually looked at what the international costs are, just heard enough horror stories that I take the US SIM completely out of my phone before takeoff.

T Mobile operates in the UK. They have a number of mobile devices, including 4G mobile wifi hotspots.
