I've got unlimited data on Verizon as well. I installed Jelly Bean on my Galaxy Nexus a few weeks back and am enjoying free, built-in tethering (it even does WPA2 correctly, the only thing that was missing in previous implementations). I just make sure I don't abuse it so much that Verizon cottons on to what I'm up to. For example, I've got geofences set up to switch to wifi whenever possible, to reduce data usage.
