Macworld received from Verizon the pricing of the new wireless hotspot feature announced earlier this month.

Raney said that Verizon iPhone owners will be able to take advantage of the 3G wireless hotspot feature for an extra $20 per month on top of the iPhone’s required voice and data plans–that’s the same price that applies to current Verizon smartphone owners.

The hotspot feature allows Verizon iPhone customers to share their 3G internet connection over Wi-Fi to up to 5 other devices, such as your laptop or iPad. This $20 fee will be an additional fee on top of the existing voice and data plans and will include 2GB of additional data.

AT&T currently offers single device tethering for the same cost $20 per month and is said to be planning on offering the same wireless hotspot tethering. This feature is included in iOS 4.3 but will depend on the carrier if they choose to support the feature.
