O2 UK has single-handedly made everyone’s day here at Gadgetsteria (and likely the the UK’s too). They have removed the tethering surcharge — You know, the ridiculous one that carriers all over the world use to charge you double for your data? — so data users can now tether at no extra cost with the existing data plans. While O2 UK doesn’t currently have any unlimited plans, this new approach is more than welcome. Since data users already pay (1) for a data plan and (2) for overages, having to pay a third fee just to use the data we’ve already paid for and will pay for continuously if we go over our alloted amount is stupid. Stupid.

Now if only AT&T cared…
