I think you are absolutely dead-on. Regarding MMS, blogs report that AT&T needs time to manually adjust every user account to remove options which currently block MMS. That is why some users who installed OS 3beta have been able to call AT&T directly to get MMS working. It took an arm and a leg, as well as certain other body parts, but some have got it working.
The tethering issue is also being bounced around the blogs. AT&T is currently envisioning a $70 tethering plan (I'm assuming in addition to the current phone/data plans we would have). It wouldn't surprise me that the high cost is intended to deter people from selecting that option and causing greater bandwidth problems.
