MacWorld Thought – IPhone Tether
Posted by David Tucker in AppleJan 15th, 2008 | 3 responsesRecently, I read an article at Rumormonger that suggested the new Mac laptop (that will probably be revealed at MacWorld today) would have an AT&T EVDO card built in. I agree that this is a possible solution, but I wanted to take it another step. I think that in the near future – the new Mac laptops will be able to seamlessly tether to an IPhone. This could possibly even be done with a Bluetooth alternative (although it probably would be Bluetooth). What do you guys think?

hmmm… that would certainly make me want one more! but that may not be allowed by their deal with at&t. the unlimited data plan on the iphone could realllly be taken advantage of in a tethering situation. and since at&t also sells other kinds of internet services, that kind of thing could eat into their other markets.
I totally agree with that. I am sure AT&T would have to figure out how to capitalize on that – you would probably have to have a “tethering” plan.
That is a fine write-up, quite simple for you to go through. Many thanks for putting aside time to share your all of your opinions.
