This is why I stick to my grandfathered unlimited data plan (even though it means I have no tethering feature) and switch off data roaming.
It hurts me to do this -- I'd gladly change if the marginal costs weren't so horrific. But the idiotic carriers their noses to spite their faces: if they spent less work on generating billable events they'd probably get more revenue and spend less on overhead to get it. Bob Frankston estimates that 30% of network traffic is just managing the tollbooths!
