Just wondering. Or is it just that typically, people who use netshare have really high data amounts tied to their account?

I'm guessing that moderate use such as mobile me email, mobile web site browsing, and posting here on MacNN won't raise any eyebrows???

What do you think?

I wasn't sure if ATT actually had a cap. I guess every company has a cap now esp with this new Comcast announcement. Anyone know what ATT's cap is?

They can do deep packet analysis and see if you are tethering. I'm not saying they are going to, just that it's possible and has happened to people already.
