Actually Sprint owns 51% of Clearwire. Why would they sale their company to an operation they practially own?

I mean come on everyone who is whining about this probably doesnt even come close to 5 gigs!
I did the math and based on my average daily use my monthly consumption is approximately 4.2GB per month and that's without tethering to any other equipment; so it is a bit of a concern.

Most of my usage comes from streaming music and/or television while at work and traveling to and from. While it's true this new rule is likely to only affect power users (such as us) it'll ultimately hurt Sprint because we also happen to be the most vocal users as well.
