I can still talk on my phone while tethering. As for the verizon aircard or whatever, I already pay for a cellular data plan. Why should I pay for another device and more data bandwidth from the same company when the technology is already in my possession? With my jailbreak tether I can set my iPhone up as a wifi hotspot and run my laptop as well as a wifi printer off the network it generates. That should be standard. Just because ATT can't make a decent network run worth a shit I don't see why consumers should suffer and pay exorbitant fees for something the phone already does and is offered in other countries.
