Verizon confirms DROID tethering cost, will ask subscribers to double-down on their data plan

Reported by engadget on Friday, 6 November 2009 (on November 6, 2009)

Just a few days ago Verizon made the less-than-shocking confirmation that DROID tethering was coming, but wouldn't say how much it would cost. Now that the hardest of hardcore fans are already waiting in line, disconnected from the world at large, the company is unleashing the bad news: it'll be $30. That doubles the cost of the required data plan that sits atop a subscriber's voice plan, meaning a total of $60 per month for "unlimited" data access on handset or laptop. Mind you, "unlimited" really means 5GB of data per, a total of 10 split between the two $30 plans. Glass ceilings: we hate them.Filed under: CellphonesVerizon confirms DROID tethering cost, will ask subscribers to double-down on their data plan originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:18:00 EST.
