They may not know the difference without Sprint being an intemediary.
BTW, showed it to our Sprint Rep at work. He made me install it on his MotoQ. Surprisingly, it worked, but we weren't able to get video.... we aren't EVDO though, so I think that may have something to do with it. I can't use it on my Apache without a WiFi connection or it buffers every few seconds.

I don't see HOW they could charge VZW users, they do not have any info on us, it isn't like we filled out a form to download or anything, but the next bill will answe that for all of us...I used it a bit (but not too much just in case), and will report back with my first bill (in about a week)!!
As far as the wi-fi thing...I don't have the buffer problem on 90% of channels with my EVDO, so I think it is more based on the device/signal that wi-fi vs. other connections!!!!
I do agree, this is a great streaming program, I am loving playing with it !!
