<div dir="ltr"><div>Yeah, I heard about the FCC thing. That just meant that Verizon wouldn't throw you off their network for tethering if you didn't pay their outrageous added fee. There are plenty of applications in Google Play that'll let you do tethering even if it's not enabled in the OS. It's possible that newer Verizon phones have a build with tethering and personal wifi enabled. Of course, the security concerns still stand, and CM also has a really spiffy-cool DSP equalizer if you're into that..<br>

<br></div></div><div>Actually, that's no longer true--Verizon does allow tethering and personal wifi hotspots directly now.
