Free wfi tethering vs Verizon $20 tethering

Does anyone know if a rooted device (such as my Moto Droid or the upcoming x) will support wifi tethering without a $20 addon plan? Or can Verizon enforce no tethering on the rooted device too?

Currently i have a non-rooted Droid and run PDA-NET with free USB tethering. If I root it, I can get Bluetooth.

It depends on if they lock out that feature when they push it. If the Verizon doesn't want Wifi Tether to be available they will probably have Moto tweak the 2.2 that will come out to not have the feature built in.

However, if your device is rooted, they probably won't be able to know that you are tethered unless you are running up like 10GB worth of usage at the end of the month.
