See, that's another thing; do people really tether given that free wifi seems pretty common in North America?

See, that's the thing; how many people tether in other countries? I feel this is more a North America thing with high prices and restrictive carriers.

I'd argue that free WiFi *used* to be quite common - in terms of people having open access points - but that's really not the case any more in my experience. Most people have gotten it through their thick skulls that locking down their WiFi is smart.
