is there a source for the claim?

  I don't know where it's coming from, but I can no longer get the market to install a couple tethering apps that I once could (US, Verizon, original Droid). I'm rooted, so it doesn't matter, but this is definitely happening.

    In fact, something most forget about android, you don't even need to be rooted to still install the applications, just download them from the companies website and you can install on your own. Unless you're on AT&T, who disabled that choice on their phones.

      That's true, but this article is specifically about the Android market limiting access, and I was reporting my experience with it.

  I wrote one of the (non-root, virtual network-adapter based) apps like PdaNet, and I can say that a number of people on VZW have reported this. I wonder what would happen if my app were one day open-sourced so that anyone could publish an apk to the market in 15 minutes...
