Why is everyone acting like this is the first bit of news posted about this? People have been doing this for a LONG time and there are MANY tutorials out there on how to do it.
I’ve been tethered to my kindle for 6 months, using it as my main internet connection. With browsing and utorrent I’ve racked up over 46GB. No disconnection here!
Sadly, trying to talk sense into them just stirs up their mob mentality.

I agree that behaviour like this is Bad and Wrong, but note that we only have HackJack's word that he's managed to do this, and I'm not inclined to put a lot of stock in his word - I think it's more likely that he's making false claims.
Either way, as has already been said, I'm sure Amazon will block accounts (or limit their bandwidth) if they decide individual accounts are a problem.
