First of all I am one of the users that actually used DUN with my Nokia. That was back in the Bell South/Cingular day... That wss then....
I see a comment about "that was before smart phones" and smart phones use more data. WHAT??? If you buy 2GB, 3GB or have unlimited that is throttled after 5GB it shouldn't matter how you access that data. Most people want to use their tablets or iPads connected to their phones via a hot spot. These devices are nothing more than Smart Phones with bigger screens. It most situations where someone would want to onnect a laptop/notebook computer.... there is most likely WiFi avilable.
Before Smart Phones, that has got to be one of the lamest arguments in support of not allowing us to use the data we pay for how we choose to use it. I say let us have what we pay for and allow us to access it however it choose. Otherwise, give me rebates for the accounts that do not fully use the data we I am paying for. I have severa of those.
