Exactly, you are already paying for the service... the data connection. Tethering is not a 'service', it is something you do with service you already have.

Unless you're on their Share Everything plan tethering costs extra. That's just the facts.

No need to even root. Just install a third party tethering app like PDANet or FoxFi (Verizon isn't allowed to block them) and connect to your phone.

They can't bock them but they can still insist you pay for the service.

I use Foxfi and it is great.
