The ability to use your iPhone as a wireless modem is finally on the way. AT&T is now in talks with Apple to develop "tethering" plans for the devices, a company spokesperson has confirmed. The subject first came up during an interview with AT&T Mobility's CEO at Thursday's Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
Tether Talk
Talk of turning the iPhone into a tethered wireless modem has been floating around for months. The process would let you connect your phone to your computer, then access the Internet through AT&T's 3G network as part of your wireless data plan. A third-party utility called NetShare allowed such functionality for a short time this summer, but Apple removed the program from its App Store without comment at the end of July. (In a strange and never explained twist, the app reappeared a day later for a few hours before vanishing for good.)
