If that's the case, then tethering is allowed on your cellphone, not the iPod Touch. The iPod Touch is just like a computer here and unlocking bluetooth just means you have an additional method available for wireless networking.

It wouldn't be for me. I just checked my iPhone usage and for the month of March, data usage was at 68MB. At GoPhone rates, that's already $680 just for internet usage.

Guess that's understandable in my area. I live near Los Angeles so AT&T probably wants pretty good 3G coverage here. Whatever 3G upgrades they're doing doesn't seem to help much, though. My parents and brother all have 3G phones and we all get around the same signal.
