Without jail-breaking (hacking) your iPhone, no. Although AT&T has been rumored to be working on a plan that would officially allow this.
Search here for 'pdanet' if you want to read about how to do it unofficially (with a jail-broken) phone.

Only if you got in on it for the few days it was available. Otherwise, Jailbreak is the only other way.

There's no other way to do this without jailbreaking... I don't feel like jailbreaking my phone again...

Hopefully AT&T and Apple reach a REASONABLE agreement soon.
I was hearing 10 bucks more a month? If so then I'm in.

The issue is AT&T's greed, they charge $30 additional for tethering any phone on their network (option not yet available for iPhone). People have figured out ways around it but they shouldn't have to.
Just AT&T being greedy, tho they argue it limits the number of people who would suck up more bandwidth on their already over-subscribed data network.
Cheers,
