Just curious. Will it still work, or is it pretty much going to be gone with the wind once official tethering is available?
It is worse than that. You pay AT&T $20- per month for the privilege of tethering, whether you exercise the privilege or not. That $20- does not even include the first bit; you still have to pay for the data you transfer.I don't know about u, but I'm not going to pay AT&T double for the same data I already have.

I agree that AT&T is a bully and, having used PDANet on my Treo, it would be my choice if I had the courage to jailbreak.i am JBen and i use pdaNET and love it! But thats not the point... ATT is acting like a BIG Bully!
AT&T does not know what app you are using. That is why if you JB, you can do things that you cannot do on a straight iPhone. It is Apple that keeps you from tethering, not AT&T. They do it by not permitting you to put the app on your phone. Admittedly, they do it as an accommodation, in restraint of trade, to AT&T. I cannot understand how they keep the FTC off their backs.sooooo, can anyone here answer this question?
i would like to know this as well...
If AT&T knew that you were using MyWi they would block it. They cannot see.I use MyWi daily, I hope AT&T doesn't bork it up. I want to keep my unlimited plan if it's possible.
If they could block you, they would. If Apple can help trhem, they will. For example, Apple will make 4.0 as difficult to JB as they can.Relative newbie here (but longtime lurker) so this may be a stupid question . . .
Can AT&T determine whether one is actually tethering using a JB phone with MyWi? If so, then there is the risk that such an individual might be forced into a tether plan now that they officially offer that option.
I think I'm going to hang back and see what happens to the masses before I do any more tethering after Monday.
For now. Of course, being JB is not the world's safest place. Just search in the forum for the word "brick."so with that being said...those of us who are JBen and have MiWi or pdaNet are safe for now
