Shouldn't break XT tethering because XT isn't an official carrier.
There is no official carrier profile to override.
PS: All NZ iPhones are always unlocked.
Got a tip for us?

Man that sucks... and I dont even have an iPhone on a AT&T contract
Blackberry ftw.
My work provides a BB, and I provide an iPhone. For me, definitely not "Blackberry FTW". I don't know how many times I'll touch the screen of my BB and get mad at it not working... only to become embarrassed and pretend like it didn't happen.
As of now, I won't be upgrading.
I would guess that they are simply trying to monetize the additional features, either to improve profits or offset costs for building out infrastructure to support network improvements. Honestly, I think this is more symptomatic of American business practice than just AT&T being greedy. Investing for the long term is no longer considered a viable business strategy here. /soapbox
Or maybe they are going to do it very soon and don't want people circumventing the system.
Upgrading
If you don't upgrade to 3.1 you'll never be able to take advantage of MMS, unless you jailbreak.

Darn it Apple
Not fair, I like to steal stuff! I think everything should be free. Tax the rich to pay for my data needs. I have many important you tube videos to watch and facebook updates to make. This is important stuff!

Is this really a surprise? I find it hard to believe Apple or AT&T would just look the other way, when they can see there is unofficial tethering going on.
Yet ANOTHER reason that I will NEVER go with AT$Ts GREED
I just got a VERIZON Blackberry Tour and could not be happier unless I get a VERIZON iPhone...hopefully SOON
And just how much do you pay for tethering on Verizon?????????? Oh, $30 just like AT&T!
I'm so tired of people saying that AT&T is being greedy when Verizon charges the same price. Come on people before you complain please check the other carriers pricing.
Now complaining about network coverage is totally fair game as is wishing that all carriers would reduce costs. Heck, I'd like to see all carriers include SMS with all data plans but it's not likely to happen.
It's tough only having to worry about only covering an entire country the size of California. I hear this nonsense from Europeans over and over. Rolling out infrastructure like this to a country as large as the US, takes a lot more money and a lot more time.
Agreed! Why even bother trying to compare? The cost for any telecom in either the US or Canada to roll out uniform service throughout their respective nations is always going to be much higher than with a country the size of Sweden.
How do you plan to hang onto your $20 plan? I was able to keep mine (which also had 200 texts included) with my 2G up until I ordered the 3GS. The first step in the order process forces you to accept the new $30 plan. I almost didn't order it due to the huge plan hike, but when I looked at "my current plan" on the AT&T Website there was a note saying my $20 plan was going to expire on 8/1 anyway.
per capita? % of GDP? or in absolute terms?
at some point it's about the country's/region's priorities. Scandinavia has always been strong in telecommunications with Ericsson and Nokia.
