Motorola Droid closedVerizon has confirmed that it will allow tethering on the forthcoming Motorola DROID for an additional $15 on top of the required $30 data plan for the device, pricing both device data and modem access at $45 per month.

Verizon will begin to offer the service in 2010.

Update: Verizon has clarified to PhoneNews.com that the rate for the tethering add-on for consumers will be $30 on top of the required $30 data plan for the device, with corporate accounts being priced at $45 for handset data with the tethering add-on at an additional $15, totaling the same $60 a month rate as the consumer account and the source of the initial confusion on pricing.
