Internet Connection Mode vs. Hotspot?

[DirtMcGirt]

So when the free hotspot thing finally ends will I still be able to tether the phone to my pc and get online via Internet Connection Mode? That's all I really need anyways.

internet connection mode also costs money

the only difference btwn it & mobile hot spot is the internet connection mode requires a USB cable from your phone to the device, whereas mobile hotspot can broadcast the internet signal

stereotypically, internet connection mode/pass through is for a laptop without a wireless receiver in it, whereas mobile hotspot is useful for a laptop(or other device) with a wireless receiver

I suppose you could still use programs like PDANET after the trial expires right? :-\

This sounds familiar... I guess eventually people will read my posts... MBBC is tethered usage as he said and will cost money after June 15th.
