Default Tethering (wireless or wired)

I just got my EVO and so far, I love it. I have a question about Tethering. It says that Sprint will charge $30/month for using this feature, yet I see it available in the system settings. So if I turn it on, i'll start getting charged, or will it simply not work? (either wired or wireless).

I thought I read that there is an app (something like EasyTether) that will allow you to tether (wired) without the need to pay additional fees.

Before I broke down and paid for the Sprint wireless hotspot (which works amazingly well by the way) I used PDANet. Its only good fore USB tether. It works pretty good... not as fluid as Sprints hotspot feature though. Its in the market. The free version will not let you view secure (https) websites, the paid one will.
