Well, I aleady have the 45+15 tethering plan. Works well for me. Looks like
the only real change is to ADD the $0.49MB Overage charge. I liked it the
other way - although I haven't busted the 5GB anyway. On second thought,
this overage charge probably would go into affect only on new contracts. I
am on the NW plan now.
