AT&T still mum on iPhone tethering
A reader sent me this email expressing his frustrations about AT&T's lack of iPhone tethering. I couldn't agree with him more:
Where the heck is our AT&T tethering!? I can’t believe that the iPhone still doesn’t have tethering in 2010! Promise after promise, time just seems to pass with the same “coming soon.” We've heard that it will be out at the end of summer 2009 then at the end of 2009 but now it’s all just “coming soon.”
Blackberries do it, Palm Pre does it better (with a wireless hot spot!), my old Sony-Ericsson from 2003 did it. I understand the overwhelmed network argument to a point, since in some locales AT&T is just doomed with infrastructure inadequacies, but it is starting to frustrate.
It is time that they get their act together, with the iPad on the horizon how are they going to handle it? If there is going to be such network demand, that means there is a market for it and I can’t see why AT&T isn’t glad to take our money and run. Make the investment AT&T so we can finally catch up with the rest of the world.
Amen brother.
