I think there are two forms of tethering. Tethering to transfer files,
and tethering for Internet access.
Personally I use tethering to mean the latter. The former is called
"plugging in a USB cable". Not that I expect to influence usage:
computing technology is replete with overloaded terminology, leading to
the occasional entertaining flamewar when people are talking about two
different things.
The later Verizon charges for. And
for some reason my Corporate VERIZON account (I work for Verizon
Enterprise Services) does not have this option! I am taking this to my
VP later this week. Ridiculous. This is why my manager told me to get
the Galaxy; for Internet access so he does not have to pay hotspot bills
for me!
That's one reason I bought a SIM-free Galaxy Nexus. No nonsense from
carriers trying to "improve the phone experience". Also I get the latest
Android updates :-)
