no but wih 4g LTE speeds the companies are going to have to change the pricing plans. I'm easily tethering more than 1gb per day with my thunderbolt, getting 10-15 mbps down.
I have been using MyWi on Verizon since beginning of March and im hitting on average about 9GB of data a month and havent heard a peep.
I live in the Uk and have yet to come across a friend or colleague who tethers.
Networks do offer this in certain tariffs but the option to buy a dongle which can be topped up when needed are dirt cheap here !

I live in the UK as well and if you have an iPhone on the 3 network you get free tethering ^_^

I posted this earlier, but I dont think people understood what i was asking. I use mywi and have gotten the "we know you are tethering" text/email from AT&T. Has anybody who got this continued to use tethering and forced to switch to the tethering plan?

There are a few long threads on this. Seems if you ignore it there's a good chance AT&T will simply start billing you for the service.
