Yep. They're very explicit in their literature about not using your device running on Straight Talk as a hotspot (tethering). It's clear enough that you don't even have to read the fine print to know it is the case. I think they print it in large letters somewhere but I can't remember.
Went 1 day without data access, a few days with limited connection (very slow) and a few weeks later they disabled my hotspotting ability.
I was using my phone as a wifi hotspot since I don't have internet at home.
