Technically, tethering is not free. If you go crazy with it and download a lot of data, then verizon will know you're tethering and flag your account. Then, you will get a big surprise on your next bill. I believe in the fine print of the contract it limits you to like 5Gig of data per month, which is a lot of data. So, you should be fine tethering just to check out amazon, ebay, and paypal...just don't go crazy and start downloading HD porn videos. Also, I think tethering really isn't nearly as good for stealth as getting a dial up account. With dial up you can pick a number/ip anywhere in the country and match a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address with it. With tethering, you may get a different ip address but it's always going to be in the same general location. Opening 20 accounts all within 5 miles of each other may be asking for trouble.
I do recommend PdaNet though. It works great on my incredible.
