[Cialug] Commerical Interruption

[Dave Weis]

I believe the tethering in 2.2 can still be controlled by the carrier. I'm also waiting for final confirmation to see if it's possible to determine whether the data usage on the phone can metered by whether it came from tethering or local applications. Something like pdanet would show up as a local application though.

Does xdandroid actually work? That's pretty amazing!

4G or not, I suspect this person's willing to pay the $10/mo for the phone itself, which btw, is what Sprint claims you're actually paying for, not the 4G....

Additionally, I *think* w/ 2.2 you will be able to tether w/o root and w/o paying Sprint's PAM (Phone as Modem) plan.  It's a feature being added by google to the OS.  (again...I *THINK*).

As for getting dumped for rooting I doubt this is likely.  I have a Windows Mobile Touch Pro 2 on the SERO plan.  1.) I've been running a custom ROM on it since I got it and 2.) even though SERO doesn't allow Android (prior to october 1st and +$10/mo after which I do not pay currently) I run xdandroid on my phone fairly regularly.  they can't tell what you do with your phone for the most part.  I would just suggest if you bust it you "loose" the phone as they probably won't be happy if they got a rooted one in for support.

There are a couple differences - there's actually no 4G locally and it's not forecasted here for quite a while. You also have the risk of your service being turned off once Sprint determines that you've rooted their phone and are tethering it.
