I have to imagine part of this is how expensive data in US still is - 5g infra could likely support this but there's no way AT&T or Verizon will give a reasonable amount of data for $25/month which is the most I'd imagine somebody would want to pay for a device specific data plan
- mcculley 3y agoI currently pay a lot for data services for my devices. I am willing to pay a lot more for better connectivity. I travel a lot. Just yesterday I was in a situation where tethering to my phone was a hassle.
- woah 3y agoI think this is the answer. Mobile OSes have been designed from the ground up to conserve data. Desktop OSes are a free for all. When a user takes the active step of tethering, they know what they are getting into. If mobile data was built right into the computer you’d probably see headlines like “MacBook causes $2000 in data overages”
