AT&T allows it, as does Verizon.
But it depends on your kind of data plan with AT&T.
I do it all the time for my Mac, from either my iPad or iPhone, over USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi.

That being said, I fully expect it to be unavailable on the company iPad.
You know our group would have serious abusers if it were allowed.

Be very careful when you figure it out. When I am issued my Company iPad, it won't be used for anything other than Company business.

No private email, no private browsing. No internet shopping, nothing......As someone put it in an earlier post Big brother is watching. The company iPad is FedEx property and thus they own everything on it......be wary my friends

You're a little young for an Iphone huh, had the S4 for about a week. It tethers to my Nexus and my wife's IPAD via Bluetooth. Faster than wifi.

Actually, the Galaxy 3 was cheaper than the iPhone and in my opinion is superior in speed and battery life. It has a bigger screen so I don't need my cheaters. I don't use a lot of apps. I think that is the only negative to android phones.

And lAG, you only as Old as you feel.......
