WiFi HotSpot - To Root or Not?

So far I've resisted rooting my Epic simply because it does everything I need it to. With the exception of WiFi tether undetected.. Can someone explain to me or point me to a well written link on this subject?

I used to use the feature on my unlocked TP2 and it worked flawlessly. It just doesn't seem right to have to pay twice for data just because that data streams from my phone to my laptop before I see it? I spoke to a Sprint Rep at my local store and asked how much the service would cost and the $29.99 just doesn't seem worth it. When she told me the price I asked her about rooted phones not being charged for the service and she went off on a rant that people who root their phones and use the service for free "end up getting caught after a while"...

Has anyone heard of people getting "caught"? Anyway, I guess Im just gathering information at this point, anyone care to shed some light on the subject? Any/All help appreciated!

Thanks
Paul
