Google, in its continuing struggle to provide phone carriers (if not its end users) with an open platform, is now banning tethering apps from the Android market (http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/02/verizons-removal-tethering-apps-android-market-shame-fcc-violation/). These apps haven't disappeared and can still be sideloaded, insofar as your carrier doesn't lock this functionality or snoop on your packets (http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/03/18/1548235/ATampT-Cracking-Down-On-Unofficial-iPhone-Tethering)."http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/05/03/2335254/Google-Allows-Carriers-To-Ban-Tethering-Apps
