Rooted (jailbroke for iPhone users)

Interesting. I'm not too worried about since I doubt I'll make the radar. I don't have much call to use out, except a few times a year while traveling where I don't have access to other means. I imagine some people out there abused the Hell out of it and ran their whole house on it exclusively. In which case yes, the usage exceeds any reasonable estimate used for setting the plan rates.

I think with AT&T ruining another service (T-Mobile), you'll see Sprint being very customer friendly and not being too aggressive with draconian practices like Verizon and AT&T. Sprint has an opportunity to be seen as the 'little guy' and user friendly service that they should embrace and run with. Truly unlimited 'everything' for $60 a month would be extremely attractive.

I think you're a little optimistic there Hy! One company getting worse isn't going to drive the others to spend more money to get better. Also, the Simply Everything simply isn't. My two lines (with all the discounts) bill is almost $125/month. That's with a 22% corporate discount. They jack on a whole lot of fee's and taxes.

That said, the data usage from tethering abuse really can get out of hand, so I've got no problems with them jumping on people about it - but would hope that it be done based on an extent of abuse basis more than anything. If I get a nastygram, I'll remove the app - simple as that.

Every carrier adds on a ton of taxes and fees - that isn't unique to Sprint. I just think they have an opportunity to market themselves in a differentiated light from Verizon & AT&T if they are smart about it. I pay about $125 a month for our "unlimited" data plan with Verizon - and that includes the corporate discount through my wife's employer. But that includes NO tethering (at least not legitimized).
