My point is very simple and aside from contracts: I use 1 or 2 Gb per month. It makes no difference to T-Mobile whatsoever if that data is used by apps on my phone or apps on my laptop. None.”
Yes indeed, here we go again - someone else who argues against facts and truths because they don't want to take any personal responsibility.
Rational and reasonable are subjective, if you believe that a contract that excludes tethering is irrational or unreasonable then don't agree to one.
If you do then you have no-one to blame but yourself and all the moaning and arguments in the world won't change that.
As for your point, it's pointless.
Whether it makes a difference to the network or not is inconsequential, the are fully within their rights to exclude tethering and that's all that matters.
