Reasonable people all understand that the reason why an ISP would offer a lower rate to phone users is the anticipation that either phone users would use the service less, or that users who have only phones and not computers are less interested in paying a premium for Internet access.
Second, what is the real line between say a macbook air or other keyboarded computer and an ipad or galaxy table or kindle fire or... they all run operating systems that let me use more or less the same software and access the same network resources.
The combination is really the difficult part for me, given I can do the same things - look at the same sites, get the same utility, and otherwise use the same bandwidth in both cases, particularly when usb tethering is a real option giving me the same deal but now without the act you are calling fraud, how is it even reasonable to think that the "mobile" case is other than a discount for some magic words?
