But there are only 2 major US CDMA carriers. Verizon and Sprint. When you get a phone on their network, you must abide by their rules. Don't like their rules....go to someone else. It's that way for cable in my area. I don't want satellite, and Comcast is the only provider in my area for cable. I can either go without tv, or go by the rules Comcast sets. I'm planning to kick them to the curb, if that mobile hotspot app works great on the Evo.

It makes sense for me if a customer paid full price for an android/webos/etc phone to use it without a special plan. But, Sprint and Verizon don't allow that. Unless something changes, to open up the networks, prepare to upgrade to use new devices.
