You may need to jailbrake your iPhone, this is the way it was possible with 1.0.2 firmware.
I haven't use it, and have no idea if it works with latest firmware/baseband.

And as it's mentioned in the website it will be a violation of your AT&T contract in the USA.

Thanks, don't want to jailbreak the phone though. Maybe something will come along once the SDK has been released.
It's a pain in the ass even using the unofficial methods that people have created. I could only get it to work half the time and some pages would just timeout even when it was working.
If you want to tether, I'd recommend just getting a simple phone (preferably with 3G) and take out the SIM card of the iPhone and pop it into your other phone. That's what I do.
fyi, the phone I have is a LG CU500 w/ HSDPA and I tether it over Bluetooth to my Macbook. I get speeds around 600kpbs (capped by Bluetooth though, if I tether with USB it'd prob be 1.0+mbps) with latency around 120ms. Works awesome. Once I'm done I just take it out of the LG, pop it back into the iPhone, and I'm back in business.
Warning though to not abuse the tethering. As sr5878 pointed out, it's not really legal to do this but as long as you keep the data usage down it should be ok.
