With a MacBook internal modem would you then have to purchase another 5G plan and a sim or pay extra for including that in your phone plan? I would imagine it’s not cheap

In my country there are plans that allow for multiple additional devices to be linked to an account.

I wouldn’t have to pay anything extra for a 5G MacBook.

Which of course makes total sense technically. Because for my mobile operator there’s no difference (bandwidth wise. And given the packet switched nature of LTE and later, that’s all that matters) whether I’m tethering or connecting multiple devices.

Yes, it ends up being very expensive. For an iPad, cellular costs $150 plus ~$20/month.
