its making me think that the us mobile operators are working under the assumption that only corp "road warriors" use mobile data connections for anything other then downloading ringtones and phone "wallpapers", and those can be leeched on a bit more...

as in, the iphone isnt on a level playing field as it has a special plan attached to it that gives the owner more, for less. or at least so it appears.
That probably is true. All of at&t's competitors are trying to come up with comparable plans but it's difficult for them to do so. As it is now, the iphone has the best data plan right now. You are limited to using it on the iphone as of now but if that's all you need, why pay an extra premium to have tethering capabilities when you don't use it.
