Point taken. I was comparing my $60/month (unlimited data and the "tethered option") to the $15/month for sprint data which I thought I was told included tethering??
$45 or $30, it's still a pretty breathtaking difference in price.

Verizon, I believe, is $45/month for data. Sprint is $15/month, so it's actually $30. Of course you can also sign up with the sprint's SERO plan, which is $30 including voice AND data...
