Moto said the week of August 2. They weren't really more specific than that.
Updates are typically rolled out in stages, rather than "en mass", so it is quite possible that some people already have the update (I don't, but that doesn't really mean anything). With 2.1 they did something like 10,000 phones the first night, then 100,000 each night after that until they were all done. Yes, there were places you could download the update if you couldn't wait, but the "first" versions of those were posted by the "tech savy" customers early during the update as the manual update isn't something that I'd recommend for "most" users.
Relax a bit. It's a phone.

I agree "MOST" user might opt to wait for the OTA but if you have the need and the speed (FIOS internet 
) then you should at least be allowed to download it and install it.

Tethering has been supported by VZW in the past, but only when they could make money from it.

The question of whether or not tethering will be allowed by VZW with froyo is an interesting one. We'll probably need to wait until someone who gets the OTA update posts to let us know.

I posted this in the Tethering thread but rumor is that tethering in the form of usb tethering or a mobile hotspot will not "officially" be supported on the Droid.

"No Hotspot, No Tethering for Motorola Droid
Verizon Wireless announced on July 30 that the Motorola Droid would receive the Android 2.2 update starting the week of August 2. Android 2.2 natively supports tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot creation. The Motorola Droid, however, will not offer these features. Verizon Wireless spokesperson Brenda Raney said to Phone Scoop in an email, "The Droid by Motorola doesn't have [the] hardware to support a Mobile Hotspot. With tethering there is no Connection on the PC side that will allow you to tether the device so the answer is that option isn't part of this update." Raney also said the over-the-air update will be pushed to a small set of users first to make sure it works properly. Once that is confirmed to work, Verizon will begin the general roll-out in phases. Android 2.2 offers a wide range of other improvements, including better security, Flash Player Mobile 10.1, voice dialing via Bluetooth, and improved camera performance."
