- kazinator 10y agoAre you sure? This has a broad interpretation: Unless explicitly permitted by your Rate Plan or Data Plan, you are not permitted to use your Device or the Service in a way that we determine: [...] - Causes harm or adversely affects us, the network, our customers, employees, business, or any other person; [https://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions&print=true https://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr...] Even if that person's Wikipedia activities are not themselves deemed as TOS violations, it seems probable that if their activity were monitored for a bit, T-Mobile could come up with a TOS violation unrelated to those activities and shut them down. (That violation could be something that they knowingly let vast numbers of other customers get away with.)
