FYI it might be a good idea to pick up a fairly robust UPS for just such a situation. I keep my DSL modem and wireless router behind a UPS and it rand for hours during our last power outage.

Might not be a bad idea, depending on how often your power goes out. I bought all of it when I was using VoIP to keep my voice communications up during outages. I'm back on POTS now, but I still have the equipment.
I've never lived in a town where power outages happen on sunny days with no notice or reason. I may just have to invest in a UPS =\

We both know it was only a matter of time. Any service managed by a group of people who believe their sole purpose in life is to line their pockets with your money is bound to be a few "bumps". Yet another win for Windows Mobile, no kill switch, and completely customizable. What else do you need?
Are you even reading?
There's no kill switch on tethering apps. They're not killing the apps. They're just removing them from the market for violating the TOS. You can install them without the market very easily. Again, this aint the iPhone. You don't need to have root to install apps. You don't need anything special. I have the tethering app sitting on my phone right now. Essentially, this is NO DIFFERENT than installing an app on your winmo phone. You get the executable and install. Period.
Is that clear enough?
I mean I am all for a open source phone OS, but that is all it should be - if there is money to be made (such as through a "market place") you bet your bottom dollar that the honest customer will be the one to get hurt. We need a third party market place that isn't run by anyone with "interests" with the (I)SP or OS developer for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, and the G1...
Again, this aint the iPhone. You don't NEED a marketplace for the G1 to install apps. Find the executable (apk) and install. JUST. LIKE. WINMO.

Just like there are websites like getjar for the java files for dumbphones/featurephones, Android has a number of sites like »www.androidfreeware.org/ that have the apks available for download.

Good idea. I keep my cable modem & wireless router behind an UPS and that can let me use my laptop for about 3 or 4 hrs with power down.
Not when the cable HFC power injectors' batteries last 0-10 minutes since they are 2 decades old, or were stolen to be used in cars and motorcycles.
During power outages, the cable infrastructure in my area continued to work.

I don't mean hacking in the typical sense, I should have said attempting to use it in an unofficially sanctioned way. Instead of being the knight in shining armor, they are turning into another Apple with the IPhone. And they haven't looked at how Apple's hard line hasn't stopped people, it just pisses them off instead.
This is NOT an unofficially sanctioned way. Jailbraking an iPhone IS an unofficially sanctioned way but this is completely normal and official. Choose your words wisely as it sometimes results in the spreading of FUD.

However, since Android is open-source, these tethering apps are easily available from reputable Market alternatives.

It's still pretty annoying. I was truly looking forward to the day when I'd be out of my contract with V* later this year, but after researching things like the lack of VOIP last night, and now this, I've pretty much given up on TMO having a desirable product. This smacks too much of the things I've already had to do with my V account. If I'm going to have to hack my phone, there's not much incentive to dump Verizon for a different carrier.
how is going to a website to manually download an apk "hacking your phone"? This aint an iphone, or a VZW stripped-down OS.

To get any of those tethering apps, all you need to do is find the installer and download it.

May as well Scotch tape a piece of string and a can to your USB port, I hear the downstream speeds are better...
