WOW, you really are clueless, aren't you?


Uhh...yeah it is. He's complaining in essence that they're charging too much for their service. That calls into question what others are charging for their service. Turns out even with the $10 charge, its still lower than sprints nearest competitor without 4G. Did I mention unlimited data plus free tethering for five other devices? With the way he's complaining about a measely $10 I bet Viz-ey's tethering fees with the data cap would give this guy a heart attack!

iPhone users would jump for joy. $10/mo for tethering five devices of their choice on an unlimited data plan would totally kick the crap out of what they get now. ($20/mo just for tethering + $30/mo data plan + 1 GB cap at the max). Droid users have verizon. So, their already feeling the pain. And sprints commited to unlimited, where verizon has stated openly not to expect it when their 4G rollout begins...

You actually think that Sprint's $69.99 + $10 premium plan will give you tethering? Uh, no. Try another $29.99 for the privilege.

No one is saying that building a 4G network is cheap. But to whack everyone with the $10 fee even if you're not in a 4G area? That's just wrong.

And btw, Sprint isn't the cheapest:

The epic 4g on my desk, right here, lets me tether one computer via USB.

If I want the Sprint-branded app that lets me broadcast as a WiFi access point, that gets installed when I approve the $30 charge.

So what happens when FroYo hits? What if I get the app somewhere else, like from the actual Android build? Can they stop me?

And yes, so far I'm using way more data than I did on my old smartphone. Based on the nature of what I'm doing, that will definitely continue.

We always talk about how the heaviest users should pay the steepest data fees...well, here I am.

You: No problem dude!

You: Sweet! Thanks Verizon!

Me: Quit your whining.
