Just heard from Apple WWDC: the new iPhone 3.0 will support tethering, but AT&T will not.
Here’s the company spending zillions advertising how great their 3G network is, but they are opting out of supporting tethering on the iPhone.
This is a cause well worth starting a consumer revolt over. Send messages to Apple and to AT&T to express your unhappiness if you have an iPhone. Tweet about it with hashtag #NoTetherNoATT.
First chance I get, I will be opting out of supporting AT&T any further with my iPhone dollars.
