Android, tethering, and skype

I've been trying to gather as much information about data plans and service in Italy but I still have some questions. I'm moving to Genoa in a few weeks and I would like to be prepared before I arrive. Here is what I'm hoping I can do with my phone (Nexus S):

- Purchase a voice/sms/data plan for my android. I will mostly use the phone while at work for local calls. I will use apps for travelling and will rarely make international calls.

- While at home I would like to use the tethering on my phone so I can go online with my laptop. I will most likely use a lot of data.

- I would like to use skype on either the phone or laptop to contact friends/family back home to avoid paying international rates.

Does this make sense and is it possible? I'm concerned about the tethering and skype. I am hoping that I won't be restricted by the carrier or phone for these activities.

I'm thinking that the WIND 10 gb/month option would be best. What kind of dl/up speeds could I expect while in Genoa?

Thanks!
