What makes the move from unlimited data to "pay for what you eat" is the bizarre tethering restriction: they expect people to pay $25 more per month to tether without additional data.
If your shifting your model to selling data, wouldn't you want to make it as easy as possible for your customers to consume more data?
I don't get it. If tethering was free, I'd use more of it, and happily pay for it.

They can make a profit from someone who uses 5gb and pays $55 in a month, but I suspect they make more from someone who uses 400mb and pays $25.
- bradgessler 15y agoHonestly I never thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense. Great point.
