You're right, sorry for not being more clear. What I intended to say was that Apple won't allow you to tether without approval on any networks. At least it defaults to allowing on all networks by T-Mobile.

Apple even respects T-Mobile's wishes on the matter.
I put a SIM connected to one of T-Mobile's $30/5GB prepaid accounts in my iPhone 5. When I try to turn the tethering function on, I get a prompt telling me to go to a T-Mobile website to get on a plan that supports tethering.
Ignoring the wishes of the people who gave them the better part of a thousand dollars for the piece of hardware in their hand.
The carrier control of tethering made sense back before the iPhone had market dominance. Now it's stupid and user-hostile.
