Look at the sales rate. How many people are tied into a long term contract and will the stick with the Iphone? The stickiness rate on the Iphone is extremely high so ATT needs to be concerned about Verizon getting a contract. The network is what it is. People bitch, but we did the same when we were running a modem over a POTS line. It will get better, but it takes time. The Teleco's need to price their service where they make money. If they can't figure that out, then oh well. ATT has a great idea of what kind of data a unrestricted user will use. Their challenge is to get to a price point where they have devices which attract users at that price and make money. IMO ATT is not suffering from the Iphone. Look at the sales rate.

I wouldn't look for tethering anytime soon. Those cheap Netbooks are also competition coming on strong. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Verizon-Expanding-Subsidized-Netbook-Offers-104691 In answer to your question: Version. I learned a long time ago when your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep becomes your downfall. Profitless prosperity might benefit consumers in the short term, but some adjustment is in order if you are killing the host.
