The water analogy doesn't really work because the customer pays for the water they bring into their dwelling. They aren't paying for water out of a single faucet and there is unlimited water to bill. Two completely different situations.
The analogy is dead-on.
AT&T's "connectivity" service is point-to-point and person-to-person, not device-to-device.
Otherwise, you'd be paying them double or triple for having a second phone or fax machine in your house.
Remind me: What's the surcharge for using a fax machine?
No it isn't. You are mixing two service contracts. Home internet service which allows the subscriber to add devices and cell phone service which allows for one device.
