Why? Are you being charged to use your Verizon phone as a Hot Spot?

I have used Verizon starting in the days when they were still GTE then 
GTE Mobile with my Nokia brick.

I regularly use my iPhone as a Hot Spot to provide an LTE 4G pipeline 
for my iPad, all without issue and without additional charge from 
Verizon.

That has not been my experience with Verizon.
