I fully understand that, and I complied with them without question. I'm concerned that eventually, especially with the government support, I will be bullied out of my unlimited data plan via loopholes.

If it happens, take them to a small claims court. Show your contract. They will have no case. They can't switch you to another plan if you don't agree (well, if you keep tethering, they can).

Actually, wasn't there some kind of legal suite that just conlcuded saying the wireless companies cant do that anymore? SOmething about they cant double dip for charges. Once the consumer purchases the data, we should be able to use it how we want without additional fees and restrictions. Maybe I read that wrong..

slovette: You seem to be hellbanned but I don't see why. Anyway the pro-tethering rule only applies to a specific 4g frequency band, and only for limited data plans.
