Speaking of T-Mobile...
I've just been looking at the fine print for the Web'n'Walk (Now "Broadband"?)
deals, which are some of the ones offered by mobilephonesdirect.
Basic Web'n'Walk does not allow:
1) tethering (using phone as a modem) - no surprise here, but a shame!
2) peer-to-peer networking - ok if they mean the common usage of the term!!
3) Instant messaging - now there is
no
bandwidth justification for that!!
4) VoIP - again, no surprise here,
5) downloading of a small number of file types, including .pdf, .doc, .xml
require the "plus" or "max" accounts, not the basic one.
WHAT? is this
no
file downloading, or only these types are disallowed?
How can they tell, over, say scp?
Does syncing to my Google calendar count as peer-to-peer (which strictly,
in IP terms, it is), or not? What about the internet dictionary service, or
any number of similar, trivial, protocols that we use all the time
without thinking about them?
Does any one know if this is as bad as it looks, or is it just that their
legal people don't understand (or both :-( )?
