OK, it is technically not hard for them to monitor their network, trying to catch thieving tetherers! But you have to start asking other questions. Just how many of Verizon's smart phone users are even going to try to tether? The percentage is VERY low. Most that want to tether are going to go through legitimate means to do it. In other words, pay for the service. So is Verizon going to spend the cash to have network admins sniff the bad guys out ... for a few measly bucks? I say, "No.".
Besides ... the fact is I very rarely tether. Really only when I have to. My main reason is when I go on vacation for two weeks, on the beach of Carolina, and I don't have any broadband at the condo. Last year, I USB tethered my RAZR ... worked "ok". But this year? YES!!! Full 3G wireless tether baby!
