When I signed up for the tetherberry beta I used it a lot on my iBook and never got a charge. I'm now back on windows and purchased tb today and used it for 45 mins, I called telus to check "to see if my GPS was connecting to the internet again..." and there are no tethering fee's on my account. Telus in Ontario.

I was just browsing the Telus TOS and I couldnt find anything against tethering. Based on their TOS I take it that if you tether within reason and stay within a reasonable data usage that this should be ok. If I do not use excessive data then really I am not abusing the service. This is the closest I could find on their site here:

Am I missing something?

So far so good with me on Telus. No charges as far as I can see above my regular plan.
