A dollar per megabyte? What is this? The 1980's?
Think ATT doesn't gouge those internationally data roaming on their network? It's the 'I rip your customers off, and you rip off mine' agreement between international carriers. There is no incentive for any cooperation between international carriers.

As suggested, just pick up (or ebay from here) an unlocked phone at your destination. You'd be amazed at the selection.

Schererville, IN		 Don't you just need to pick up a foreign sim? Assuming of course your phone supports the international frequencies.

The biggest issue with that (especially if you are using it for business) is that you then dont get to use your US phone number. Almost all cheap international prepaid SIM's only support voice anyway (certainly not 3G), so its kind of pointless.

Iphone supports the freq but is locked as to not allow any non-AT&T sim.
