AT&T CEO Says iPhone 'Tethering' Option Coming Soon

by Donald Melanson on November 7, 2008 at 01:11 PM

There's not exactly a lot of details to go on here (or any, really), but AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega yesterday confirmed during an interview at the Web 2.0 Summit that an AT&T-approved iPhone tethering option, which will allow you to connect the Apple handset to your computer and use it as a 3G modem, will indeed be available "soon." That lack of detail includes any word on pricing or, of course, an actual release date, though MacRumors is reporting separately that it's hearing the tethering capability will be built into the 2.2 firmware, which seems like at least a reasonable guess.
