Default [Q] Free Tethering/Wireless Hotspot App?

Forgive me if this is buried in another thread and I missed it.

Is there a working free tethering and/or wireless hotspot app for the SGS4G yet? I see a few on the marketplace but I can't get them to work, not sure if something has been released that works with this particular phone yet.

Any insight would be helpful - thanks!
