Well, that's an interesting question. The short answer is yes, but you might not like the way you have to do it...
First, a disclaimer:
it would be illegal to tether in the US, since AT&T will not allow it and therefore, you would be "stealing" their bandwidth.
OK.... Yes, technically you can tether, but you first have to jailbreak your iPhone. If it's still under warranty, jailbreaking will void the warranty. If your one year is up, it doesn't much matter. Although, sometimes Apple will replace your phone if you can prove it to be a defect in workmanship, etc. So, proceed with caution.
Once you jailbreak and install Cydia, you can install an app called MyFi, which will allow you to make your iPhone a WiFi hotspot. Therefore, you can use the iPhone to tether anything...iPad, Computer, iPod, etc...
Technically, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to do this. It's all a matter of everyone getting their cut of the usage fee pie (profit).
Go to YouTube and search on iPhone tethering and you'll get all the help you need, if you want to tackle it.
Enjoy.....
