In the UK at least, it's still very hard to get a sane data plan with tethering at a reasonable price.
- xorcist 12y agoAgreed, the broadband situation in the UK leaves a lot to be desired. Building mobile networks is still very much a national regulatory affair, with a lot of upfront capital costs, so even the big multinational service providers do not offer the same service in two different countries (often charging you for roaming when you go abroad, even within the same provider's network!). I've been waiting for some big provider to offer true multinational mobile service at least within the EU, where the regulatory framework is similar and necessary agreements in place. But it looks like I will be waiting forever...
