Optus has decided to charge their customers $9.99 per month on top of their existing plans to use the iPhone's new tethering feature which allows the user to connect the iPhone to their computer and use the phone as a modem with their existing data plan.

This is quite a strange move as reportedly Vodafone users can use the tethering feature for free. It seems to me like a feature which you normally take for granted as it has been available for quite some time on other phones and now you have to pay for it.

Do you think this extra charge is within reason?
