A lot has been discussed about being concerned with high data usage and the lack of concern with tethering with the droid. I have been rooted and I have tethered with pda net and over wifi with the wifi tether apk. I don't mean to post this to scare anyone or wag my finger because I do participate... I just want everyone to be educated. Verizon knows the different between streaming Pandora for 4 hours at a time or tethering or they wouldn't make such a fuss about this. I received this in an email recently at work which was sent company wide, (86,000+), and have been wanting to post it here but keep forgetting.
It seems like from this memo VZW wants you to know that if you tether, you will lose your service. Perhaps this is a great way for some to get out of their contract but I would have to assume that if they went this far as to post something directly towards 3rd part tethering there could be greater consequences, which I do not know what those would be...
I thought all of you may find this interesting and I wanted to make everyone aware that VZW is watching how users are using data and there could be issues if it is abused.
