I have an #AskFedi question!

I have been using my phone (on t-mobile) as a hotspot to connect my laptop to the internet. How is it assigning IP addresses to my computer? Are they IP addresses that are owned by t-mobile? Are the ones they give me to use shared with other people that use t-mobile? Are they reusing a pool of the same ones access all their subscribers? Or am I misunderstanding how IP addressing is working in this context.
