The reason why the gas analogy doesn't work is because you are comparing a service to a product. Your comcast analogy works a lot better. You're right, it's kinda the same as charging someone more for internet because they have a kickass i7 computer versus a pentium 2. It's the reason why comcast enforced a fairly strict 250gb bandwidth cap now, so it doesn't matter which device you use, just don't go over 250gb. I'm quite sure though, our SERO account does not have the same cap, as shown by the people who brag about tethering and using up like 10gb+ without consequences. SERO came out during the time when bandwidth was plenty and there were not enough devices to make use of it, hence everyone was throwing around the term "unlimted".

Sprint would make more people happy, as well as behave "more ethically", if they were to enforce a 5gb limit for all SERO customers while opening up all of their devices (besides 4G ones of course). However, their priority isn't to make people happy. It's to make people happy enough to not leave while also making money. If this is truly unlawful, you have the right to challenge it...but I'm quite sure Sprint has enough lawyers working for them to make sure what they are doing IS LEGAL. That's why they notify plan changes in your bills and you reserve the right the cancel your 2 years commitment with them.

You don't need to "educate" anyone. People pay for the service with their hard earned money. Once it becomes too costly and too "unfair" people will automatically leave. Sprint can't afford to bleed customers again, so that's why they need to keep prices low. There are plenty of excellent, and cheap, prepaid providers ready and willing to take SERO customers if Sprint gets out of hand.
