(This is with my samsung smart phone, bought 2011, rooted, and has an app called Wired Tether, not available in Playstore, I think) I turn on wifi of phone. I plug the phone to USB port of desktop computer. I run the Wired Tether app, and now the desktop computer has internet connection, and I can pretty much do anything online--surf, youtube, download, access files from another desktop running Windows 7 (thanks to cifs-utils) I understand what you're saying, but based on my experience, I have to disagree with you that the purpose of USB tethering is for the PC to use the phone's mobile data connection. I very seldom use mobile data connection as that would be expensive. I assure you that I always use the phone's wifi so my desktop can connect to the internet.
