I think a USB tether works for free, but the Hotspot feature is a paid service. Wireless tether for free is a root only (unless you know how to toggle .bat modes) app. It should be a matter of adding the service, then using it.
I'm sure this has been asked before. But what is tethering. I've only had my Droid for a day so far. My apologies if this has been asked before.

Tethering is the ability to use your device as a modem to access the internet. Basically, you are using the data from the device to provide internet access to another device like a laptop.
On Android devices, you can get wired or wireless access, depending on superuser status. Wireless access is pretty cool, BTW. You can tether multiple devices to the same source.
He meant the carriers don't want us to use our device's unlimited data plan to tether without paying an additional monthly tethering fee. VZW charges another $30/month to tether in addition to the $30/month BlackBerry data plan.
Which is why I use the tether app. So I don't have to pay the monthly fee to the carrier.

OK I got it. Thanks a lot.

I only tether when it's my only option. Most CM7-derived ROMs have it integrated into the wireless settings section. I find it very convenient when I need to do something quickly.
