Verizon to Offer Tethering For Motorola Droid

Verizon is set to make tethering on the newly released Motorola Droid phone official next year. But to use the feature, most consumers will have to pay an additional $30 a month.

"Tethering will not be available at launch but it is scheduled," says Brenda Raney, spokesperson for Verizon Wireless.
