It's simple how they (meaning Sprint, in the case of Palm Pre in the
USA) _can_ do that.  They just specify in the data-plan contract that
your entitlement is device-specific.  The telcos want to bill for
tethered usage as a premium service, even if it makes no difference
whatsoever in your monthly data allotment.  Why?  Because they smell
money can and can get away with it.

(Of course, they may or may not be able to detect your doing it.)
