I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone (and other Apple devices which have cellular modems in them: an iPad and an Apple Watch). The tethering is flaky and burns two batteries at once while adding latency. I want an always on Internet connection like I can get with a Dell laptop.

The Qualcomm royalty agreement has been the problem, as they reportedly get a fraction of total device cost.

How my cellular provider bills me for it is irrelevant.
