And this answers the idiots who blame Apple for the lack of tethering, which has been on the iPhone for quite a while now.
Apple didn't hold the US users back, they argued for tethering according to this report.
Apple argues for a working network and more access for the user - which of course they would.
And the bloggers and journos continued to claim Apple likes the limits and held back the functionality - which is now being revealed to be rubbish.
Along with the App Store locking argument - still rubbish. And the suggestion that Flash could break the App-Store lockin so Apple blocked it for that, which was also rubbish and a small amount of research would have showed it to be rubbish.
That research only required looking at the bookmark in Safari on the iPhone which goes to the Web Apps site.
It is nice to see some actual real info coming out for a change.
You will probably find that the chipset they used had other features they thought should be there and chose to ask the carrier to do their job right rather than limit the user to suit the carrier. Worth looking into - and hopefully reporting researched facts in a balanced way.
