iPhone Tethering Coming Soon

The much anticipated tethering option for the Apple iPhone is coming, very soon according to AT&T Mobility CEO, Ralph De La Vega. The CEO has confirmed rumors in an interview at the Web 2.0 Summit that it is indeed coming, but he would not release specifics such as a timescale or any pricing. Tethering has been around for awhile, it involves connecting your cellphone, in this case the iPhone, either wirelessly or with a cable to your laptop or PC to take advantage of its mobile internet connection.

The unlimited data access which iPhone users currently have on their handhelds, will more than likely not carry over for tethering use.
