It's always good to have communication from both sides of the fence.

For the sake or argument please explain how your app is not considered tethering. You are connecting the phone to a desktop/laptop and using it as a modem to connect to the Internet on the desktop/laptop. If that is not tethering then I don't know what is. Tethering is and additional cost and bypassing that is what is wrong.

Our service is not illegal. We've discussed this with a lawyer.

If you disagree, please show me which law we are breaking.

TetherBerry as a company/product is not stealing anything.

We're not using the BlackBerry as a modem. More of a network adapter. I've scanned over the ToS for Verizon and see no where, how we are breaking it. If you could point it out, I would appreciate it.

At the moment I don't understand your logic, and I'm trying to understand it. Your argument is basically if company A charges you for a service but company B figures out how to offer the service better and cheaper, then company B is automatically doing something illegal?

This is akin to selling a credit card skimmer designed to attach to an ATM. Selling the device is not illegal but the intended use is.

I'm still not convinced. Anyone with common sense knows that this is wrong. Sure your lawyers may have a loophole but when it comes down to it. Tethering is not free and your app bypasses that.
