The problem I think is that desktop software is often not written on the idea that they might need to sip from a straw.

Anyone who has tethered their machines to a phone with a middling connection knows how bad the computer experience cna get.

Like you mentioned 50 gigs a month per device... when I had to tether my machine for a week I was finding myself using 10 gigs _a day_, and this was ~6 years ago.

Not an argument that this stuff is impossible, of course, but I do think these machines are different beasts.
