Why tether?

[bigLanky]

If there is a 5GB cap on tethering, what is the use of tethering? when would it be useful to tether as opposed to using verizon's 3g ?

You can tether your computer to your phone and use the phone's 3g. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. The benefit is that you can use the internet on your laptop (or any wifi capable device) anytime that you have your phone handy. I prefer to surf the internet on a 17 inch screen over a 3.7 inch screen.

Wi-Fi tether means your Droid turns into a wireless router.

If you are wondering about the cap, it has been yes and no for a while. I try to be smart about it. Im probably not gonna go crazy and get rid of my cable modem and strictly tether off of my phone. I use it sparingly.
