i suspect one can classify the android project as a rogue.
hell, its mostly a company that google bought at some point, and is probably running autonomous internally.

"Your Data Plan is intended for Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on your device and not on any other equipment. Unless explicitly permitted by your Data Plan, other uses, including for example, tethering your device to a personal computer or other hardware, are not permitted."
You would think that the only disadvantage to them would be with unlimited DATA plans or if the expect revenue for hits ID'ed as coming from their device.
However, using your own "equipment" allows you to escape the "walled garden" that is contained by their device. It all might have something to do with that last century thinking and any agreement they may have with content providers as a result of it.
US carriers have stifled DATA use for years hoping to control revenue. They controlled it alright. Adoption of DATA over cell in the US is dismal.
IMHO, restricting the use of DATA in these ways is bad for any economic recovery.

The beauty about the G1 is that you can still get the apps directly from the developers; they just won't be on the market. I think this is the first bad move I've seen from T-Mobile that affects me, and I think they made this move to promote their new USB wifi adapters. However, if one "roots" their G1, then can continue to tether.
I somehow suspect that there is a misunderstanding or that this will be clarified. But then maybe I'm giving Google too much benefit of the doubt...
