I would imagine this is to get people signed up for a data card plan now that it is so easy to unofficially tether and use your phone as your modem. They want to monetize this. I have been using my phone as my primary modem since I moved a month ago (since I didn't feel like getting comcast--at least not right away.) If you can just download an app like WMWiFi and avoid paying tethering charges then what will stop everyone from doing it? I see what they are doing here and it sucks because the unlimited cheap fast data is their best point. Still, I would conceivably pay a little more for truly unlimited data over legit tether. It will still be cheaper than the $45 I would pay for Comcast.
