How come nobody is working on this wifi tether bullcrap from Verizon?

[xythil]

They block what is a feature that is ours BY RIGHT

where is the fix? why is the hacker community not up in arms about this with some one-click solution?

I'm curious. Where was this (your right) in the AUP or ToS? Because I didn't see it.

Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless

Basically, when you signed your contract, you agreed not to modify your device. You need to root to use WiFi tether, thus modifying your device.

Lol yup! I have not ever had a problem with tether...however, I never use it....I may check that it works but that's for one second to see the mbs up and down...I agree, tethering (over tethering with greed) is one reason I believe the prices are as they are....

Go over to Verizon and ask them to unblock that for you.

Didn't have to root before. So using PDANet does not violate this agreement verbatim because you don't have to modify the device.
Just throwing stuff out there

disregarding whether its someone's right or not, is anyone working on a bypass for this? And I mean a simple bypass, not the TBH one.

Tethering has always been against VZW TOS, but I can't read through their fancy legal jargon to find it.
