Hutchison Austria is known for acting anticyclically – while most carriers currently cut back on unlimited data, they have just introduced the new SuperPhone plans:

Both of them offer 5GB of data, after which a speed reduction to EDGE niveau is applied. The interesting thing here is that tethering is allowed.

When asked on capacity issues, the representative stated that increasing capacity alone leads to situations like the ones seen at other countries. He went on to say that smartphones _never_ cause network overloads; these are instead caused only by tethering.
