You already paid for a data plan plus premium. What in the world is going on with Sprint and that $30 hotspot fees. They're turning to ATT. Just another reason to ditch the Sense UI and get stock Android.
Well if you weren't paying the hotspot fee on your phone, you'd be paying it with the overdrive. So in effect, it's the same idea; you're just getting a faster experience.
@cdf74dc9 If you can use your phones internet on a PC you're going to chew through more data. If people are using more data the carrier needs more network infrastructure to support it, therefore the extra cost is justified.
@Bratyr that is a load of poppycock. I'm so tired of this argument. If you are tethering your pc to your phone its still limited to the bandwidth of your phone. It's like saying my isp has the same justification to charge me extra for having 10 pcs on my network instead of 5. Also I can suck down huge amounts of data on my evo by streaming Pandora, watching YouTube and using Qik, the same things I would do on my laptop. It's the same exact tube people, open your eyes when your taking it in the ass

Overdrive, another hidden fees. But I had unlimited data and 4g. Such irony. FCC should un-limit all this limited BS.
