No, feel free to point them out.
Anyway, the Personal Hotspot feature did not show on the main screen of the Settings app either, even after a hard reboot.
I had to reset the network settings before the Personal Hotspot feature showed.
Apparently a small number of users have seen this behaviour.
I am having the same problem. How do you "Reset Network Settings"??
Never mind figured it out.
Odd. It showed up right away for me. The "Set Up Personal Hotspot" button was there, right after the update. Not that I'd ever use it..
Mine still isn't showing up. I am actually paying for the service, but a settings reset didn't get it to show up. 
Well I have reset the network and then reset everything. I have verified I have a tethering plan and I still don't see any option in my setting to enable this thing. WTF?!
It looks like tethering is on by default now, as shown in this video. There are no controls for tethering in the video, only wifi hotspot. Have you tried tethering with 4.3?

Edit: Note, I'm not running 4.3 yet, just trying to help.

Solved:
I had something in my backup that was keeping me from seeing the hotspot options. I installed as a new phone and it works perfectly. I had been jailbreaked so something in there must have been an issue.

Is it possible to use the personal hotspots to give an iPad access to the 3g network via an iPhone?
Got it figured
Ok for those who havent figured it out yet. The Personal Hotspot is the new update. You can use your iPhone now as a WiFi hotspot but if you still need to connect with a cable or want to to tether - you plug in the iPhone to the computer with your cable and then turn on the personal hotspot button and voila you are tethering again.
I like this as i had this as an app when i had a jailbreak iPhone 3 - now iPhone have released it on the 4 this is great.
I dont know if it works on the 3's or 3S' but it does on the new 4 update.
Hope this helps all.

I am planning to buy an wifi only iPad, i have an iPhone 4, how do i use my iPhone 4 3g without having to upgrade my AT&T plan? I did checkout the eye-fi camera card, but i am not sure how it would let me create a hotspot for iPad? Can you please explain?
Ive got an iphone 4 on 4.3.1 that was previously jb. Ive just tried what you said and it does NOT work. It still tells me to contact my network provider!

Well yeah, you have to pay the provider to be able to tether without a jailbreak (at least with at&t you do).
