Re: What's "Internet Sharing" for on my Comm Manager?

Internet Sharing was added on WM6 I believe, and is Microsoft's built-in solution for tethering your PC to your phone. In theory, it operates the same way that USB data-card would work if you bought one of those from Verizon and plugged it into your laptop.

I've never heard of USBModem, but I imagine it's the exact same thing. I've used the Internet Sharing application a number of times (on Sprint) and it works well. It uses your phone's data connection. The speed is only limited by your phone - so if your phone supports full 3G data (EVDO Rev A) then you should get those same speeds on your PC.
