The $30/month charge is for the data services for the blackberry (internet, email, etc.). The software you download is for the feature of using your phone to connect a laptop/desktop to go online if no connection is available. That is an extra $15/month on top of your plan. Well worth it if you ask me compared to $60/month services offered with the aircards. I added this service when I switched even though I won't use it as often but I know its there incase I need it as I do run into situations at times. I am with sprint though, not sure the rate with Verizon.
