To be fair, I'm sure their reluctance has more to do with the fear that the increased data load (and customer tech support) would have on their network. Try to account for the tethering bandwith usage on top of the limited 3G coverage they already are dealing with and you have a customer nightmare either way.
My wife has tethered with her Treo on Sprint and I've been impressed with the ease and speed that was offered. When I pointed that out to one of my co-workers who has an iPhone, they commented "Of course it works great, she's probably one of a hundred people still using their network!"
I'm sure they will release it eventually. Knowing their luck, it'll be a month after they lose the exclusive deal with Apple and by then it'll be too little, too late.
