    if you turn it off, of course you wouldn't have access to wifi hotspots (i.e. you cannot connect)... however, if you'll just be using your internet stick, that should run fine since it's running on 3G.

    Just go ahead and toggle with it as you need... you can turn it off when not in use to conserve battery and hardware operation.

    OT: In case you want to share your internet connection to your other idevices or your friends' laptops at a coffee shop perhaps, you can keep it on and share it as well.
