Other than trying to gouge another $10 I don't even know why they'd  
bother.  Lets face it, they are charging a mint for the data so why  
not encourage us to use as much as possible.  Strange business model  
if you ask me.  It'll be interesting to see Telstra's response because  
it's working fine with the unofficial config.
