AT&T tweaks wireless terms of service to forbid video streaming, filesharing, data tethering

Is it me or is it pretty pointless having networks that you’re not allowed to do anything on? I thought mobile video conferencing was something the carriers were encouraging! Their “unlimited” plans cap at 5GB/mo anyway. After that you pay through the nose per byte. So what is there to lose?
This just reeks of stodgy, old-f-touch old men, making dumb-ass decisions about technology they don’t understand and are probably afraid of. When did we hand the internet over to these goons?
