If you’ve been wanted to tether your iPhone to your fabulous Macintosh machine or your Windows PC then you probably already know you can’t really tether your iPhone to your computer without Wi Fi and an AdHoc connection, something easy to do for those with enough experience but something difficult for your grandmother. There’s applications on the AppStore such as NetShare to “tether” your iPhone to your computer via and adhoc connection between the iPhone and the computer which then allows you to use your iPhone’s 3G or EDGE connection on your computer.
AT&T has received tremendous amount of demands by users who want/need this feature on the iPhone. So, AT&T may soon respond with iPhone Tethering, at extra charge of $10USD per month – this is AT&T of course.
“iPhone tethering is primarily an AT&T offering, but it involves Apple at least wanting or allowing the service, which they do. If it doesn’t function as expected, I know of a few people who may lose their jobs,” my colleague explained. “While you may think it’s as easy as streamlining our Blackberry tethering service over to the iPhone, it’s not. Connection may be tied into iTunes, and Apple is incredibly controlling when it comes to this space.”
