Having to pay yet another $20+ to use an existing data plan which only could cause a person to reach that magic 2gig 'unlimited' cap is absurd.
But, as long as people pay it they'll charge it.

Not to worry with a blackberry smartphone (at least not until carriers figure out where the data usage is coming from).

"One of the things that we've heard anyways, ... [is] if you are tethering with a BlackBerry smartphone, carriers should NOT be charging you for tethering charges 'cause they really have no way to actually know you are tethering on a PlayBook unless you go and tell them."
