I'm watching this from across the Atlantic. Oh my, your carriers have
WAY to much say in how you use your telephones.  In Sweden, noone I
know of blocks tethering, a fully paid for unlocked phone can use any SIM,
and at least one carrier (Telenor) has unlimited data plans if you get
a premium  subscription.

While we still have to pay insane beyond belief "because-we-can" roaming
charges on data in Europe, data in ones own country is fairly cheap.

Written from bus and subway (yes, 3G coverage in tunnels) in Stockholm,
with small breaks when switching vehicles.

CONGRATULATIONS!  Now should I make thinly veiled comments about
DIGNITY, self-esteem and finding TRUE FUN in your RIGHT VENTRICLE??
