Verizon and AT&T blocking tethering apps from Android Market; we have a workaround

Justin Cauchon May 4, 2011 1

So much for Android being an open platform. Verizon and AT&T have blocked access to popular tethering apps in the Android Market. Carriers are getting serious about paying for tethering and understandably want to crack down on data hogs. However, Verizon and AT&T are the only ones who have gone this far. Sprint and T-Mobile haven’t yet blocked the popular tethering apps from being installed on their phones.

    Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Cheers, I appreciate it!
