Define your own time and space-
It's appalling we've bred this patriarchal, 'prohibitive' society founded on fear, dictating everything we can and can't do and how, exactly, to do it...or else.
"...beware of getting caught...", "be careful...", "...risk running afoul...", ...block your access...force you to buy...cancel access completely.", "...track your usage..."
I want America to wake up from it's sad, scared slumber.
I absolutely agree with JmpXor. AT&T can THiNK they have a say until those who are sick of the games, balls-still-intact, stand up to them with a beautiful class action suit. We listened to their pitch and paid Top Dollar for their device and service and I would only EXPECT my state-of-the-art 3g iphone would tether with the laptop....especially given tethering isn't exactly new technology; we've implemented on much older, 'lesser' devices. Certainly, with all the horn-blowing 'rah-rah' from Apple and AT&T regarding these, reasonable use (not downloading gigs of movies or whathaveyou), like checking your company's intranet or booking a flight (anything within reason) should be fine. If they want to cry foul, I've got my dukes up and I know there're others.
