It's a Tethering Plan...and yes when tethering is made available by AT&T there will be additional charges associated with it.
===================================================================
(From AT&Ts site forums):
If your wanting to share/tether data from your phone you can use the DataPro Personal with Tethering plan $45 month that includes 2GB data month (additional data is $10/GB)
You can get a dedicated USB card and get the DataConnect $60 plan that includes 5GB data month (additional data is $0.05/MB)

I cannot confirm/deny any of this information, because AT&T's website is down...
