iPhone Tethering Finally August 1st, 2010
AT&T finally made iPhone tethering available for subscribers to it’s wireless service, once Apple’s iPhone operating system iOS4 was released.
What’s tethering? That’s hooking your iPhone (or other wireless device) to your notebook computer so you can use the iPhone’s data service as a wireless modem for your computer.
One “problem” – previous iPhone users had unlimited data service for $29.95 per month. Apple has discontinued that for new subscribers. Also, if you want to change to their new 2GB/month data service ($25/month) or their 200MB/month data service ($15/month), you can never change back to the unlimited service.
Tethering is a special version of the 2GB/month data service – 2GB/month+tethering is $45 per month.
I finally signed up for it and am waiting for it to activate.

If AT&T offered tethering for the new iPhone GS, I would have been one of the million customers who bought an iPhone GS during its first weekend. Then, I could have watched the game — or at least kept up with it — from my notebook computer.
