    March 28, 2012 - Directly from the Verizon Wireless website: USB Tethering while in Wi-Fi mode is now blocked. The above article says it is allowed. Apparently you were given incorrect information. I figured Verizon was up to something sneaky. The incorrect press release re: allowing wi-fi tethering is all over the internet.

    Clarification: Re: FP1 Update - Directly from the Verizon Wireless website on March 28, 2012: if you install the FP1 update, "USB Tethering while in Wi-Fi mode is now blocked." The above article says it is allowed. Apparently you were given incorrect information. The incorrect press release is all over the internet. I am going by what Verizon has on the website now.
