"AT&T may, but is not required to, monitor your compliance, or the compliance of other subscribers, with AT&T's terms, conditions, or policies"
And, of course, it's now well-known that the government WAS using deep packet inspection on AT&T internet traffic.
I would assume they're just looking at how much you download in a month, though. I don't think AT&T is worried about offending outliers using large amounts of mobile data by inaccurately accusing them of tethering.

It'd be illegal wiretapping if it were the government, perhaps, but I'd imagine the standard contract with AT&T permits this.

Could you provide a link to the government using deep packet inspection on ATT internet traffic. I don't remember it/haven't heard about it.
Just curious.
