Verizon has no hand in any of that. I suspect that at most they butt their noses into what HTC et. al. do to make sure they don't surreptitiously include the ability to tether.

Other than that, Verizon's been surprisingly hands-off with respect to the capabilities of Android devices.

Whoa whoa, what chip did Verizon define? I wasn't aware Verizon was in the chip designing business.
