AT&T: iPhones Will Soon Connect Laptops to Web

AT&T will soon provide an official data tethering solution for iPhone users, the carrier has confirmed. Such a solution will basically let an iPhone owner turn the handset into a modem and then connect to a Mac or PC, allowing the computer to access the Internet via the iPhone’s AT&T cellular data service. “We’re working with Apple on a tethering option for iPhone and we hope to offer it soon,” Wes Warnock, a spokesperson for AT&T Mobility, told MacNewsWorld. “Can’t provide any details beyond that,” he added.
