			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tethering &#8211; is the use of a mobile device such as a mobile phone to supply internet access for another device which is otherwise unconnected, using the connected device as a modem.</p>
<p>If you have a Verizon Wireless phone, this option isn&#8217;t exactly &#8220;available&#8221; to us at the moment. And <a title="unbelievable" href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/11/tethering-droid/" target="_blank">per Verizon, will cost you an extra $30 per month</a>. Furthermore,  <a title="CNET article" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10208323-94.html" target="_blank">Google has banned all tethering apps from the Market</a>. Personally, I think this is insane. Especially since it is based on an <a title="Def. of Open Source" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source" target="_blank">Open Source</a> OS. Did I mention that Verizon plans to put a 5 GB cap on that $30 per month charge?</p>
<p><span id="more-40"></span>Well, there is a way around this. Its not illegal, but definitely frowned upon by Verizon. Although the program costs $29, its worth it for the few that need it. There is no hacking needed and you don&#8217;t need to root or unlock your phone. Simply go to <a title="Download PDANet" href="http://www.junefabrics.com/android/" target="_blank">this website</a>, download and install their Android version of the Application. They do have a free trial so you can be sure it works just fine before dropping the measly $29.</p>
<p>Installation is quite simple. As long as you know how to install programs on your computer and Android OS, you will be just fine. Install the program on your phone, then your computer, follow the instructions and you should be good to go.</p>
<p>Another great idea is to copy the windows exe file to the USB portion of your phone. This way, you can take it with you in case something comes up.</p>
