Tethering is just connecting your BlackBerry or any phone with data plan to your PC/laptop via USB cable/Bluetooth, so that the phone can act as your wireless modem.
It should be handy in places without hotspots. I would never try it to be my primary internet connection due to:
1.- It can't match my needs for bandwidth. (slightly better than dialup)
2.- As far as I know, any carrier would charge you for this service.
