Consumer Watchdogs Growl Over Verizon's LTE Tethering Clampdown

[ECTNews]

 Consumer watchdog group Freepress is accusing Verizon of breaching the terms of its agreement to lease airwaves for its 4G LTE network. Freepress filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission Monday about this issue. The complaint alleges Verizon Wireless breached its lease terms by asking Google to restrict access to third-party apps on the Android Market that allow tethering -- using a mobile phone to connect a laptop to the Internet.
