Android’s impossibly fast adoption since its debut isn’t due to just a single feature or element. It’s the concoction that Google created in their popular mobile operating system that has people clamoring to get their hands on it. Consumers and manufacturers have chosen Android and made it one of the most popular platforms available, with no signs of it slowing down any time soon. Not surprising, Android’s openness is one of those features that people enjoy. Additionally, there’s the Android Market: a place where folks can find many apps to help in their day-to-day tasks, without carrier or manufacturer intervention. But it looks like those days are quickly coming to a close, at least for those under AT&T and Verizon’s banner.
It’s no secret that there are applications available in the Android Market that bypass certain carrier restrictions. We are talking about tethering applications. These apps are meant to make it easy for consumers to connect their phone to an external device, like a laptop or gaming console, and use their phone as an access point. Both AT&T and Verizon have tethering plans specifically for these phones, and obviously feel like their plans are good enough for the average user to use.
To stop the tethering services, dominant of wireless has been charging extra amount such as 15 dollar, 20 dollar or even 30 dollar for using such services. Thus, by making tethering application unavailable or blocking from the Android server.
