We pay $30 for 5gigs worth of data already....

Which is paid whether we use it or not. If ATT can keep track, why should it matter if it's tethered data or native. Is tethering somehow more expensive, and is $6 a gig ($30/5) not enough to give them the insane margins they're looking for?

It shouldn't matter. But it does because it's a way for AT&T to get more money.
