I agree w/John. I know several providers limit your total usage for the

month - and then you pay a MAJOR Premium if you go over it. 1 or more of

them will throttle back your speed once you start using TOO much

bandwidth in a month. I think only T-Mobile or maybe its Sprint - that

claims NOT to throttle back the speed after you go over a limit.

But - maybe we are misunderstanding what you want to do - since it does

NOT seem like a viable option to do what you stated here.

Also - as John said - some carriers have it against their policy for

people to open up a Hotspot - and let others jump onto thier bandwidth -

while others carriers actually Advertise this feature on TV - so you

will have to look into that...
