| ATT's Tethering Plans Aren't Logical
I have Blackberry International and I am not even allowed to tether domestically no matter how much I am willing to pay. Even though ATT can detect tethering via the approved mode, they seem to take this irrational position here as well. Yes, I know that there is a backdoor way to tether, but the people doing this aren't paying ATT anything whether they tether with an iPhone or a Blackberry. |

1 edit | No way it's $55 over the $30 data plan.
AT&T's DataConnect plan is $60/mo for 5 GB data (they don't list it as unlimited on their web site).
So, $55 a month with 5 GB cap to tether an iPhone would make sense, and would be $5 cheaper than just getting a wireless connect card. Somewhat of an incentive to do both with one provider.

All ready exists in the basement of 1 Infinite Loop, IMHO.
Apple has a long track record of developing parallel technologies. Same thing they did with OS X......

Yes, a day, a day to end iPhone sales.
VZ wireless sucks endlessly. If hell were real, it would be verizon wireless with uverse tv/phone/ and comcast internet.
If the iPhone did go to vz originally, i would have never even been interested in getting it. I love my iPhone 3G, but if it meant switching to vz, i'd pass it up without a second thought and go back to my 3 year old razr v3.

said by weaver0  :because competition will rear it's ugly head Verizon and AT&T are priced nearly the same. They don't compete, especially considering the article a couple days ago ala text messaging plans.
