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.
