I think developers should be able to submit their idea and then get that approved before they work on an application.

They had to know there was a 95% chance it wasn’t going to be allowed when they developed it.

I am not saying anything about whether or not AT&T should offer tethering, but absent a specific approval before hand, you had to expect that such an app would be banned.

To use a sports analogy, they threw a hail mary and it got batted down, it should have been expected.
