Verizon see's data usage per device. If for some reason if someone has unlimited data still and without a paid Hotspot app in use jumps way above what their usage has been like for say the last 4-5 months, they'll recognize what is happening.

It's not that hard to see a difference in data usage because of tethering. A phone typically won't push above 2gbs a month. Now you add a computer, or a gaming system that is using that connection and that usage goes up tremendously. Verizon is already sending rooted iPhone and Android users texts saying they will disable their data usage if they continue to use the hotspot without paying for it.

Sprint removed it from the nexus s4g iirc.

Looking at my Sprint Nexus S 4G right now. It's in there, but I have never attempted to use it (I also have a mifi). I know that Sprint charges something like $30 a month to turn the phone into a hot spot, but I don't know how or if that's circumventable using the stock Gingerbread hotspot feature.

That's good to know I thought they removed it

Not necessarily true on the data consumption pattern. I used to download podcasts over 3g and would hit 5-6gb.month from that. Daily podcasts of 40mb-100mb can really add up. All legit, non-tethering uses. I just listen on Google Reader web now, so I don't download nearly as much to my device.
