AT&T’s CEO Ralph de la Vega made the announcement at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Fransisco this month that tethering for the iPhone 3G is coming “soon.” While the exact dates of “soon” weren’t defined, I think this time it actually has some truth to it. We’ve waited for… Continue Reading »

by Aaron Kraus on Nov 2, 2009 at 08:28 PM
