How does tethering work?

[chimera]

It is using the 3g ability of a phone to create a WiFi hotspot for a Wifi device like a laptop right? what about a WiFi iPad or other tablet? would that work?

Also, does verizon offer prepaid tethering? I know that it is something like 20$ a month for 2gb or something, but do they offer a option where you would buy 2gb or so worth of tethering, and then could use it for as long as it took to run out?

You can use it for Ipads, Ipods, tablets etc.

I haven't ever heard of prepaid tethering though
