Most carriers won't allow unlimited data with tethering. With unlimited plans, they're sized to assume a maximum throughput that the phone can provide. Tethering drastically increases that throughput.
Yes, you can root your phone to get around it, but i don't think the carriers will look kindly on that, and I'm pretty sure if you exceed the maximums they'll notice. So even though it's "unlimited," it's really not.

One thing to point out.
Even if you don't think android tethering is easy or fun, or whatever, it is the only way to use unlimited data, because if you adb tether, your carrier can not distinguish your computer's usage from your phone's, and at least with my carrier, Verizon, and my plan, it is actually unlimited. _______________________________________________ KCLUG mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
