This is what I don't understand, and what I object to. If I buy a little USB antenna that connects to Verizon (or any other carrier) and I buy their unlimited data plan, I pay the exact same thing as unlimited data on a smart phone. If I use the smart phone as my connection, and tether it to the same lap top I would have used the other data device on, why do they care or why SHOULD they care how I connect? For this reason I don't believe it is right to charge an extra fee because I went out and spent money on a tethering cord. It's also why I sleep like a baby if I can find a way to tether without them knowing about it.
