EVDO is just another cellular data technology. The technology is irrelevant to the argument.
The moral issue is: whether an "unlimited" service sold to an individual can be shared with others. Past history suggests "no." We don't share our unlimited local phone lines with the neighborhood, nor our cable TV. We don't rent one trash pickup in the nbhd and tell everyone to bring their trash on over to one house for pickup. We don't jam everyone possible into a car at the drive-in theatre in an effort to avoid paying for extra cars. In places with unmetered water (like NYC), we don't extend hoses to our neighbors so they don't have to pay for a basic water hookup.
It is common that unmeasured services are for the benefit of the subscriber alone. It's more than common and moral; these concepts have been tested in court, though perhaps not with EVDO.
Let's hope, for the benefit of most subscribers, that the networks prevail in this issue. Far better to have millions of people paying a reasonable fee for service than just a handful of "suckers" paying vastly higher rates so the rest of the community gets service for free.
