iPhone tethering in the works?

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Aug 30, 2008 at 08:01 AM

AT&T
An adequately unsourced claim paired with a strong desire for iPhone tethering has created this news item:

A Gizmodo reader says that after firing off an e-mail to sjobs at Apple (which works well, for the record) he got one of those rare Steve responses… sent from an iPhone no less.

AT&T offers data plans for BlackBerry that include tethering for an additional $30 per month (a total of $60 per month for the BlackBerry+tethering plan).

It seems ludicrous that the same thing is not offered with the iPhone. I understand the desire to prevent tethering with the current data plan, but I am willing to pay more money to allow tethering! With such an advanced device, why can I not do so?

Came the reply:

We agree, and are discussing it with ATT.
Steve
Sent from my iPhone

With no screenshots or other evidence, take it for what you will, but the fact remains that the sender has a very good point, and it is rather odd that such a smartphone feature was left out of the smartest phone’s plan.
