FYI: Verizon, by law is not allowed to block tethering on 4G devices

The 2008 auction at which Verizon bought their LTE spectrum requires compliance with open network protocol--see [Only registered users can view links. ]

See [Only registered users can view links. ]

The terms of this include:
Specifically, a C Block licensee may not block, degrade, or interfere with the ability of end users to download and utilize applications of their choosing on the licensee's C Block network, subject to reasonable network management. We anticipate that wireless service providers will address this requirement by developing reasonable standards, including through participation in standards setting organizations, as discussed below.

In addition, C Block licensees cannot exclude applications or devices solely on the basis that such applications or devices would unreasonably increase bandwidth demands. We anticipate that demand can be adequately managed through feasible facility improvements or technology-neutral capacity pricing that does not discriminate against subscribers using third-party devices or applications.

I think we can also put to bed the idea that tethering is stealing. Verizon agreed to let us do it, data is data no matter where it comes from and the FCC agrees.

That says nothing about your contract. Your contract legally denies you the right to tether unless you pay for it.

Or in other words; your analysis is wrong. Verizon is perfectly allowed to block UNAUTHORIZED tethering.
