Can some MBA explain this to me?
#1
I don't get justification for the "tethering fee."
It's a monthly fee that covers no real or administrative costs of providing it.

The customer pays for data bandwidth already, it's just that they are using the bandwidth in a particular way.

I think it is analogous to a service station charging you one price per gallon for gasoline to fill up a sports car and a different price for a minivan. IOW -- all things being equal (mileage, grade, location, etc) -- one price to the people driving for one purpose, and another for a different purpose.

Anyone here willing to play devil's advocate and justify this?
Bonus points for explaining how it isn't collusion that all the major carriers charge this useless fee.
