An embodiment is directed to a power regulation method implemented by a personal hotspot. The personal hotspot is configured to utilize a data exchanger to provide internet access to one or more client devices. The method includes monitoring a power state of one or both of the data exchanger and the personal hotspot. It is determined if the monitored power state meets a predetermined threshold value. If the determination indicates that the predetermined threshold value is met, a power regulation action associated with the threshold value is initiated.
