Ummm. NO! You are wrong.
You OWN your phone. And you OWN the right to install software on your phone. You OWN the right to modify your registry. ICS and PAM are two different things. Comcast would prefer that you PAY for every device that connects to their internet whether on one modem or not. But the fact is that a router allows you to SHARE the one connection you have and essentially make it one. This is PERFECTLY legal. Comcast can also decide to shut you off if they dont like how you are using the bandwidth. Same holds true with your phone service. ICS is basically allowing you to pass the data that you PAY for in your plan... down a usb wire to your PC. This is not theft. It is just cleverness. And it is functionality that is being provided within the OS. If it was illegal, MS would not make it easy. And if your phone carrier was concerned, they would encrypt and key the PAM service in such a way that it would be impossible to use without paying.
