internet tethering with sprint htc hero

[safewithyou247]

So, I spoke to several Sprint Reps in customer retention the other day regarding the tethering issue. It appears that Sprint was involved in a law suit over the fact that they allowed thier customers to tether with thier phones. Apparently other carriers were not allowed to do this per FCC bandwidth constraints. They specifically corrected this issue with the Everything plans. They do have the ability to allow your phone to tether, but their systems will automatically reset it back to being blocked.

Can anyone confirm this info?

If this is true, then Sprint will not allow tethering at all. This does not preclude the hackers from allowing it though. I am sure a way will come soon enough. For now, I use PDAnet and it works well for me.
