1) I don't usually need to tether on a regular basis. If I need to tether for just 4 days, can I activate then cancel and only be charged for 4/30 of a month and have an alotment of 4/30 of 2 GB?
2) Is ther an activate and de-activate charge?
3) What is the difference between Enterprise thethering and non-enterprise tethering.

Technically yes you can. No there is no activation/deactivation fees.
Just be aware of the pro-rated charges.
FYI the tethering plans are now 4GB total. That 4GB can all be used on your iPhone, the device you are tethering, or a mixture between the two.

Thanks for that reply... I have an iPhone. If I go to the settings/Network/Tethering control pannel and turn on Tethering am I activating Standard Tethering at $20/mon or Enterprise Tethering at $45/month? I haven't been able to determine the difference between Enterprise tethering and non-enterprise tethering.

It would be the standard $20 addition.
You can also just go in and activate it via the Online Account Management under Features.

i know this is late but the enterprise vs personal is only referring to your email usage. if you connect your iphone to a corporate exchange servce you may need the enterprise plan.

It's not email usage. It deals more with the physical connection. Most people don't require it from experience. I always find it easier/cheaper to try the regular data plan first and then if your having trouble with a corporate connect, go ahead and change.
