USB Tethering Works Fine With iPhone Software 3.0
USB tethering seems to be working fine with the new iPhone 3.0 software update, according to a developer. While tinkering with the settings in his upgraded iPhone 3G, the developer was actually able to tether the connection from his device over to his laptop via USB and discovered that it could be done by Bluetooth as well.
For those unaware, tethering allows you to
share your device’s internet connection with your laptop. Mobile
carriers generally charge an extra fee for this feature.
Apple
admitted that they had integrated tethering support into the 3.0
release but had not yet corresponded with mobile carriers about the
feature.

For those that are testing firmware 3.0 can you please confirm if OS X Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature works while tethered to the iPhone 3G? Is it running like PDAnet which basically turns the iPhone into a WLAN router or is it using a proxy configuration like iPhoneModem? The latter of which doesn't work with BTMM. Also while in tethering mode does it display the data usage? Is the WLAN connection WPA or the weaker WEP?

Now that both AT&T and Verizon is limiting data to 5 gigs, it might make it hard to watch very many tv shows or movies using tethering
Seems like they jumped on to add this just in time for when it becomes an available option
