When I got my 6 GB data plan, there was a special on which made it only 
$5/month more expensive than the smallest plan (500 MB IIRC), so I went 
with it then.  However, it's nice to know, even with tethering, that I'm 
unlikely to come anywhere near the limit.  I also use WiFi with my 
Android phone when available.  But even if it wasn't, I'm still not worried.
