Some peeps seem to be getting it, most not. However some have read their new terms and it seems they are not allowing tethering per TOS without a data plan.

And I happen to live in a WiMax area.
I thought, that other than approved plans & phones, they didn't allow tethering (I thought the T-Mobile "card" was the only one that allowed tethering for like $49.99/mo). Anyway; if you don't get a vendor-phone (any carrier's mangled OS), tethering was a snap.

Regardless; the EDGE speeds are starting to feel creaky. I've been hoping 3G deployment will be more solid in NYC, and that I can buy a HTC independently ....

I was looking, as well, at WiMax as a potential alternative to my ISP at home -- no carriers in the city it appears (well, not anything realistic for home use ...), Keeping my fingers crossed ....
