I have Sprint, they've never given me a problem about tethering. As far as I can tell, there's no data cap on my unlimited plan (2 Epic 4G phones, $150/mo unlimited everything family with the 4G premium, both phones are rooted and running Froyo 2.6.32.9).
My wife is a heavy media consumer with Pandora and Netflix. Occasionally my AT&T home internet goes out, and I stay online for work and play by using Wired Tether (http://android-wired-tether.googlecode.com/) because my desktop doesn't have 802.11. I frequently use the Wireless Tether (http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/) when I'm out and about with my laptop, as my "4G" (San Francisco bay area) is generally faster than free WiFi and I don't have to deal with a gateway.
All told, it's rare for us to be under 4 gigs per month, and I haven't received any communication from Sprint other than the occasional text advertisement and our monthly statement, but YMMV.
As far as I know, regular subscribers only got 8 - lifetime subscribers received an additional 8 slots as a 'thank you' for dropping $200 on the lifetime subscription.
8 to start with, eventually they plan to offer additional character slots for a small fee. However, in-game each character can have multiple costumes that are completely different from your original (even down to changing body size and proportions) so it's not quite as inflexible as the 8-character limit initially seems.
Where do you get the lifetime subscription? (I don't see it on the website.)
AFAIK, the lifetime subscriptions were only offered up until the official release - so unless you participated in the Beta or the "early start" offered to certain pre-order customers, it wasn't really an option.
Is this a game even an 8-year old can enjoy?
There's lots of bang-boom, the controls are fairly simple, an 8-year old that enjoys comics and has the computer skills required to operate the game could enjoy it. I would not let the child play unsupervised, though.
And most importantly, how large can you make the female Champion's breasts?
Quite large, but not disturbingly so. There really isn't any 'boob physics' to speak of, like you'd see in a fighting game. They just sort of poke out there like a pair of bulbous road cones.
I get much more amusement out of making characters that have disproportionate bodies - huge gangly arms with short legs, gigantic melon head, etc.

I figured it was because the USA and our corporate media interests made them an offer they couldn't refuse...

You're thinking of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

How many different characters can you create?

Godwin's law. You lose.
That's not Monty Python, that's a George Carlin bit.
