when your tethered PC goes and checks MS update, or your xbox logs on over tether you dont think verizon sees it?
it'd be really easy to isolate non android ip traffic from PC/mac/gaming system traffic, and compare it to a list of those that pay for tethering.
I would love to see a tiered dataos plan that allows you to actually use the data you buy however you want.
So why is it that there line of defense is to remove the apps from market, if they truly can tell who tethers and who doesn't why not shut them down?
The fact is they can't prove who does and doesn't.
Trust me if they knew all tethered phones would know it.
Like I said think what you want. Believe vzw when they say they know who you are.
Such mindless creatures.

this goes back to my analogy about speeding...can the trooper pull you over for going 3 miles over the limit? sure he can. will he? no, probably not. Now wiz by him doing 125 and tossing beer cans from the window adn what happens?
Its not like he didn't see you speeding at 68, its just that hes got bigger fish to fry.

What do you think is cheaper? Sending an e-mail to each tetherer and field calls and e-mails of denials? Or pulling the tethering apps from the market and eventually pushing out an update to all phones to disable tethering apps and put up a paywall?
So they can track data sent from the phone to laptop or PC? Hmm don't transfer anything through USB cable to PC that you have downloaded with phone that would be stealing?
Give me a break.

So now its about the cheaper option.
What is cheaper letting people run a muck with data or shut down that data stream?

Real story: When Froyo was first released for the OG Droid, I noticed under "Settings -> Wireless & Networks" there was a new choice: "Tether." It worked fine if you were on a WiFi network, but if you were on a 3G connection, and you tried to access the web it took you to a page telling you this was an extra service you had to pay for.
So I called the number on that page because I was perfectly willing to pay for it (never know when you might need it, right?). Here's the thing: NO ONE I SPOKE TO AT VERIZON KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!
I was bounced from one department to the next. I tried to explain... this was THEIR phone. I had just installed an update THEY sent me. It took me to a page hosted on THEIR servers. No one knew what I was talking about!!
Finally they transferred me to someone at (ready for this??) GOOGLE!! The person I spoke to there is the one who told me about PDANet! So I downloaded it, installed it, and voila! USB Tethering without any additional charge!
And I agree with those who say "Data is data." It doesn't matter how it is accessed, you are paying for unlimited data, you should GET unlimited data. Put it this way... if I pay for a gallon of gasoline, am I charged any different if that gasoline is pumped into a car, a motorcycle, or a can? NO! I paid for a gallon of gasoline and I GET a gallon of gasoline. PERIOD! No gas station charges you differently for whatever you put that gallon of gasoline into. Data should be the same.
I use gasoline in my analogy because NOBODY is ripping off the consumer the way the oil and gas industry is right now, and even THEY have their limits.
So they can track data sent from the phone to laptop or PC? Hmm don't transfer anything through USB cable to PC that you have downloaded with phone that would be stealing?
Give me a break.

I'm sorry, but with this quote alone, you lost any and all credibility.

Please calm down people. This is a good discussion and I don't want to have to close this thread.
