if you go to att's website, youll see contact us and from there you can have a live chat with them. thats just what i did and asked some of these questions. below is our conversation. i have picked out the noted parts to safe space and less reading for you all.
"richard marasek: andrew, is it ok to do so. i heard a lot about a future 30 dollar charge and im just wanting to clear things up
Ourana Camacho: Thank you for your patience, Andrew. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tether with the iphone at this time.
richard marasek: it is possible, but for those that dont have netshare or a jailbroken iphone but some are waiting for your new plan for tethering. ok, next question. is it possible for att to see that you have tethered or not sense hacked phones do the same as pcs anyways
Ourana Camacho: No, it is not possible for AT&T to detect the device has been hacked.
richard marasek: is it possible for them to detect if youre tethering though. lots of questions have been asking that on forums
Ourana Camacho: No, there is no way for AT&T to detect you are tethering the device.
richard marasek: so, im not saying its ok but with ppl not wanting to pay the extra charge for tethering, will it be free sense we pay the unlimited data
Ourana Camacho: Yes, I believe it will be free, since they have an unlimited data plan.
richard marasek: ok, thanks for your help."
notice he says att CAN NOT tell that you are tethering and he says he THINKS it will be free. i hope this clears things up. and thanks for taking the time to read this.

you can get firefox, aim, and bittorrent for the iphone now so they cant hold that against you now.
