That's awesome! For some reason my work phone, Droid 4, doesn't have the mobile hotspot enabled.. But, now I'm on the hunt for an app to do it for me.. Will be nice to have the 4G hotspot while traveling for the iPads.. lol

What's really nice is that this means that other carriers won't be able to either.

Actually, this ruling is specific to Verizon according to the article.. Does that mean that other carriers won't follow suit? Who knows..

It may not be specific, but it'll be an easier case for lawyers when another company tries to do it.
