Apple iPhone: VoIP for now, tethering to come later – AT&T

By: Alan Ng | October 8, 2009 | 2 Comments

Following on from our report yesterday, which informed you about AT&T’s decision to open up it’s 3G network to VoIP applications, the network carrier have said that data tethering will come at a later date.

As reported from Apple Insider, AT&T’s data tethering service was originally supposed to launch in the summer along with MMS, but as you will be well aware, MMS has only just become available.

At the moment though, AT&T are unwilling to reveal the current progress of delivering data tethering to customers, as a spokesperson stated: ”Tethering remains unavailable. For tethering, we need to do some additional fine tuning to our systems and networks so that we do deliver a great experience.’”

Let us know your thoughts on this. You’ll find more details on the topic over at Apple Insider.
