One of the immediate benefits for consumers is that companies can no longer block tethering apps on your phone or make you pay an additional fee for it. Sprint wanted me to pay an extra $30/mo when I was with them to be able to tether. Of course, I just rooted my phone and tethered anyway. (now I have Ting -- so much better)

Usually things you pay for indirectly are much more expensive than they would be if you paid for them directly, so you'll probably be paying more in the end.
