I’m being told by an extremely credible source that MetroPCS is now starting to monitor LTE and Evdo tethering. They are getting ready to offer a tethering plan that will be $20 extra for the $60 plan.

We already knew MetroPCS was blocking desktop web browser traffic on their network but we are not sure if they are planning on doing anything other than stop the traffic. We also knew they would probably offer a tethering plan at some point. They might as well give people the option, it makes sense to let people pay them for tethering rather than rooting their phones to tether for free.
