We went on vacation to Canada and my mom has a personal wifi thing for work, but we used it to stream tv shows. Neither of us knew the consequences, but that is not the point. 

The company, mind wireless, deals with the phone bills from the company she works for, and they send out the phone bills monthly to her colleagues. 

She called and they said there isn't a way to avoid doing that. I just want to pay for it because it was my fault. What will happen? Any ideas?

Yes. Your mother could get fired for that. Her work wifi was only intended to be used for her work.

If you wanted internet you needed to use free wifi or your own portable wifi hot spot.

That's an expensive bill.
