Unlimited data was when everybody used data pertaining to the device that was registered to that plan. Now that people are tethering a boatload of devices to that device it is overloading the network. So if a carrier has lets say 60million subscribers , it was meant to be unlimited for 60 million devices. So if you count the amount of devices being tethered, the amount of devices straining the network is probably triple at the least if now quadruple. How is the network suppose to sustain that? I don't work for any of the carriers, but lets just use some common sense here. I am sick of the bad apples(AAPL too) messing up for everyone.

Some people just don't get it.
You do realize that when Verizon purchased the 4G LTE Spectrum they agreed to not block any applications or programs from its users. Including tethering apps such as FoxFi, etc. The agreement with the FCC also says something about tethering which is why Verizon was fined a few million dollars for charging customers to tether. If Verizon thought their network couldn't handle everyone tethering then why would they have accepted those stipulations?
