VentureBeat reports that T-Mobile CEO John Legere has announced that T-Mobile will cut off (at least from "unlimited" data plans) customers who gloss over the fine print of their data-use agreement by tethering their unlimited-data phones and grab too much of the network's resources. In a series of tweets on Sunday, Lerge says the company will be "eliminating anyone who abuses our network," and complains that some "network abusers" are using 2TB of data monthly.
