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.

No. You get the phone at a discounted price when you sign an agreement. The carrier gets the "discounted price" back throughout the 2 years of your service agreement. At the end of the service agreement the phone is yours.
And Unlimited Data is data to your device. Once it gets to your device and continues on to another device, there is an additional term for that. PhoneAsModem.
