Just a warning for anyone who is considering doing this on AT&T.

AT&T has begun to crack down on unofficial tethering methods, including MyWi
and PDANet.

Customers are being notified that their service plans need updating to
subscribe to a tethering plan, and that they will be automatically subscribed
to a DataPro 4GB package that costs an additional $45 per month if they
continue to tether.

Undoubtedly other carriers will follow suit, and it's easy to guess that
Verizon (for example) may just go ahead and automatically subscribe you to the
tethering package without sending a warning letter first.
