Because HTML by default removes all additional spaces.To have more than one space it is necessary to type: & nbsp; (without the space) to force a non-breaking space, and even then Slashdot removes them for you anyway. Slashdot hereby mandates 1 space. You shall all now fall in line or be end-of-lined.

Because it is no different surfing the net with the iphone displaying the data or your laptop displaying the data. AT&T is nothing more than a provider of the conduit. They want to charge you more because you want to use a different device to display the data? That would be like the cable or satellite companies charging you more for plugging the video output of your cable box up to you computer instead of your TV. It's just unethical.

I am an AT&T wireless customer in California and currently have the ability to tether through my cell phone for internet access (but for disclosure sake, I did not buy the phone from them). I don't see how this is a technological issue, but more an accounting issue. This is a matter of AT&T making time to find the right dollar amount to add to the bill for this service that they feel is above and beyond the call of what a wireless company should offer, unless they have sold you a separate piece of hardware for this particular function. The wireless industry in the US needs much tighter regulation by the US government. I am normally against government involvement in business, but the communication companies of the US have proven time and time again that they can not be trusted to charge a fair price to the public for service.
