Abstract
A mobile communication device is provided that enables appropriate use of a network connection between the mobile communication device and a telecommunications network by a tethered computing device. The mobile communication device includes a first network interface configured for connection to a telecommunications network to establish a network connection and a second network interface configured for connection to a tethered computing device to establish a tethered connection and permit the tethered device to use the network connection. The device further includes a processor configured to obtain a first set of information regarding the network connection and either control use of the network connection by the tethered device responsive to the first set of information or provide, responsive to the first set of information, a second set of information directly to the tethered computing device prior to use of the network connection by the tethered computing device.
