hell no.

Wishing I had bought netshare

ALT

Double the data cost? That is insane!!!! It's not like it'll run any faster from a laptop or desktop. You can't possible torrent with the connection so who's going to try? I see no reason to pay double. You're not getting double the product.

JEmlay

@moo083: That's "implied" usage, not actual usage they want more money for. When my wireless network provider gets to add a "speculation of service fee" I'm running for the hills.

Also, I completely understand the network usage differences as I am a network engineer by trade. But that still does not make this any less greedy from ATT.

Institute a cap then and charge for going over the cap, but you can't charge more up front for "what if's."

axiomatic

No way will I pay more. My current plan is right at the brink : if it were (literally) $1 or $2 more per month I'd be done with it. I already pay out the ass to send SMS, still can't MMS, and am paying top-notch data rates. Anything with the iPhone from here forward is free, or not happening. period.

jriga

I don't understand the phobia of jailbreaking. Why pay another $$$ fee every month to tether, when you can jailbreak and do it for free?

Venture into the gray area a little bit people. Att's sticking it to you, you can at least pretend to not like it.

bpatten

@Darklighter: That's true. I wouldn't want to see my bill after using the internet like I normally do with a tethered phone :S

Kaiser-Machead's Apostrophe's Power

Yeah that's a lot of fucking coin to tether on top of the data, especially if all you're going to do is check your email instead of just access websites just to dick around on the internet.

Kaiser-Machead's Apostrophe's Power

@IMWylde: Has it occurred to you that tethered users, statistically speaking, might use a larger "piece of the pipe", thus making it reasonable for AT&T to charge for it?

Darklighter

worth $15/month

petelobl

I went from a windows mobile 8525 to the iPhone and my price per month stayed about the same. I knew I'd lose tethering but I was willing to because I liked the iPhones functions better and with the browser it's just better than the 8525 for mobile web.

However, if they decided to charge me for something windows mobile users can do for free I'm likely to get annoyed and the next cellphone I buy won't be with ATT or an Apple product. I'm paying for a 3g connection to their network, how I use that should be up to me, whether I'm using it on the phone or on my laptop or turning my phone into a wifi hot spot and letting my family use it, I'm paying for it...

Lance Wallen

@nachobel:

woah woah woah you can do what for what price? do go on...

nutbastard

I say unlimited data w/ tethering $30, unlimited data w/o tethering $15.

Now we're talking....well at least I am.

twitzgall

@moo083: network speeds being what they are there is no more bandwidth involved in any case. Limits are Limits I hit them as easily browsing the web as I do playing WoW. We pay for the connection we pay more for the connection in 3g we are entitled to using that connection right up to the cap.

Someone would really have to show me a screeny of a tethered phone WoW session.

IMWylde

@Dudemeister on the Run: "No, blow me AT&T."

I don't think ATT can; they already have troubles with too-small pipelines.

bosskev

$10 says Apple will only allow it through a special iPhone tethering dock adapter.

scoobydoo

@jiffy: The Smart users are still on windows

DoPeY5007

No, I pay enough as it is. I rather not have internet everywhere I go, than pay another $30. No, blow me AT&T.

Dudemeister on the Run

Absolutely not.
I pay for my piece of the pipe. Now If I were using my phone while using my laptop to open web applications at the same time I could understand the charge but in any other case hell no.

I really cant see ATT's angle in all this other then pure greed.

IMWylde

@axiomatic: It actually is a lot more bandwidth for ATT to do tethering because computers typically use more than phones. Its that simple. Want to play WoW on the go? This will work. But it takes a lot of bandwidth. And to be honest, ATT seems to have some bandwidth issues with the increased number of users since the 3G came out. So they DO have limited bandwidth and adding this would hurt that. I think ATT needs to up the bandwidth and allow tethering for a small cost.

$30/month is WAY too much. I would pay 5 for sure. MAYBE $10.

moo083

@DoPeY5007: So that is why the WinMo devices keep flying off the shelves and are rapidly expanding their marketshare in the office, oh wait...

jiffy

@axiomatic: "Why would I need to pay extra for this? What is the difference in downloading a web page to my iphone vs. my laptop via the iphone?"

I'm guessing it comes down to levels of bandwidth usage. If you have the extra capability of connecting your portable, you are likely to be connected far more, and in addition to your existing iPhone usage.

bosskev

@axiomatic: it's about bandwidth usage actually. the idea being that if you tethered your phone you'd use the 3G as your primary internet connection and hence you'd use a shiteload more bandwidth.

Paradise

This is basically just another thing for the Enterprise customer (like me). So you don't have to provide wireless cards and iphones to users.

This is basically just another catching up to Blackberry feature that needs to be available.

While your at it can you make the iphone configuration utility export work via sms?

jiffy

A PLAN? Seriously? No wonder they removed that App.

takashimiike Ultimate

The one reason Windows Mobile is still better then the iPhone

DoPeY5007

Hells ya! Although I don't want to be charged extra for a data plan I've already got. Currently, I don't pay any extra to tether my MotoQ (Which I hate, and if the iPhone had a tethering option, I'd already own one (and would if netShare had stayed on the appstore)).

Maybe if AT&T's data network sucked a little less, they wouldnt have to charge iPhone users a premium because of the size of their user-base on AT&T's network--

bemused0

Seriously, why would anyone be stupid enough to pay extra? You're already paying astronomical amounts for the 3G data plan, you should be able to use that network via tethering.

seamustry

Seems like ATT can't handle the data loading that's already on their busier 3G networks (Manhattan anyone?). Imagine even *more* service problems after they start selling tethering plans. ATT wasn't ready for the iPhone, and they're definitely not ready for tethering.

bluespot

@OMG! Ponies!: yeah, feel ya. My friends 3g is still having "connection issues" post 2.0.2 update.

It's a sad day indeed when my shitty instinct browser opens pages faster than safari.

what are some other creative ways i can be charged to use my futuristic new gadget? i'm sure you've got more than just this, right?

stupidjerk

Why would I need to pay extra for this? What is the difference in downloading a web page to my iphone vs. my laptop via the iphone? The same bits travel across ATT network. I don't see the value add that ATT want more money for?

In fact, I would go so far as to say currently WITHOUT this functionality, ATT needs to discount the data plan because I can't do this right now.

GREED, it's what's for breakfast apparently.

axiomatic

@OMG! Ponies!: Someone might be though.

I've gotten crap 3G speeds on my iPhone (including 3G speeds that are less than EDGE speeds) so no, I would not be willing to pay extra to tether my iPhone with its 14.4 baud capability.

OMG! Ponies!

No.

@Paradise: Lucky, then, for AT&T that I don't have a 3G iPhone in a 3G region. Otherwise I'd just set it to stream high quality audio 24 hours a day just to spite them.

@mildretard: "Best use of a semi-colon I've seen today."

Thanks! Still, the "best of use a semi-colon" award has to go to my departed grandmother. OTOH, her semi-colon usage involved a colostomy bag...

bosskev

I might pay. It depends. Netshare kind of sucked. I could get it to work, as well as via different methods involving jailbreaking, but what I would pay for is something that was a lot more transparent and single action for everything to work...ftp, browsers, chat, email, etc...

Ideally, simply connecting the iPhone docking cable to my Mac, and have my Mac ask me if I want to use the iPhone if no other network connectivity was available, and then bam...everything is connected via the iPhone.

macslut

So ATT currently offers the iPhone (and other) plans as "Unlimited" because they know that most people would have to make Herculean efforts to download more than, say 5gigs/month on an iPhone.

But their internet plans, like the 3G card I have, are capped at 5 gigs.

If they offer tethering, it will be at a cap, which means, say 5gigs for phone AND laptop combined.

I can't WAIT for the f-ing uproar when people start bitching that they are paying more for tethering but getting less (it's no longer "unlimited").

AndyDuncan

@bosskev: Best use of a semi-colon I've seen today.

mildretard

NEVER! I had teathering for no extra costs on Verizon Wireless with my WM6 phone, in fact I installed WiFiRouter and provided wifi to those around me. I already feel like AT&T is charging me enough with the $30, I'm not going to pay more then that. Plus I have my iPhone 3G jailbroken and can already do it, kind of. I'm just really looking forward to the first WifiRouter app for the iPhone. I'm tired of that socks relay shit.

transzoo

@bpatten: Who said it's a phobia? Some users just don't want to go through the process and potentially f-up the device. I seem to remember the forums BURSTING with people who had bricked phones... crying crying crying... while the rest of us just laughed. Jailbreak should be called Jailbrick.

And if it bricks permanently, enjoy the $599 price tag of a new one (sans 2-year commitment, cause you know they won't let you sign a new one.)!

jriga

They can't be serious about this, Dude from 7 AM to about 11 PM my iphone 3G can even connect faster than 40kbps, and they're thinking about tethering??? am serious, this new update made it worse cause before it use to switch to edge if 3G got to slow but now it just sticks on 3G and the speeds are really worse than edge, i have had to switch it myself to edge to be able to get at least some form of internet access. I know this has to be a network problem with AT&T, and i hope they're doing something to fix it cause am starting to lose my patience an am pretty sure a lot of people are, hey i could even resell my new 3G on ebay and cover all the ETFs and still have money left

snitch29

Should be part of the data package. Period.

kaffeen

@HollywoodLeo:

@rgardner:

Why should tethering be free for the iPhone????
AT&T already charges every other device for tethering, they are already losing money or so they say by subsidizing the iphone and you want free tethering???LOL, you must be joking

snitch29

If it was actually from an iPhone wouldn't it have reformatted ATT to "AT&T"? Mine does.

Debunked. Next.

dap12321

Do you Mac people still think your product is superior? Looks like your having more compatibility issues than vista. My Vista machine is just sitting here kicking ass and working with everything but the kitchen sink.. including my phone! I didn't even have to void any warranties.

robpruitt

Tethering should be free. And is... posting using Netshare from SEATAC Airport....

rgardner

ATT, and Apple are starting to get a little ridiculous...
First off, I'm sure that they plan on offering the tethering service, that's why they removed NetShare from the store.

The thing is that we're already paying an arm, and a freaking leg for the iPhone 3G's data plan. I mean 30 effing bucks just for internet on a phone?!?
On top of that, we have to pay a separate fee for SMS?
That's ridiculous!

I switched from T-mobile (who I had for 6 years, and was happy), to ATT for the iPhone. I used to have a Sidekick, which I know doesn't compare to the iPhone, but at least the data plan INCLUDED text messaging--unlimited! All for $20.

Right now I'm paying $60 a month for internet access. $30 on the iPhone, and $30 at home for high speed. $60 a month is WAY too much to be paying for internet.
These corporations are getting way out of hand here. All they care about is money!

Tethering should be FREE! I don't care if it's using more bandwidth, I'm already paying $30 for internet on a freaking mobile device! That is way too much...
It should include SMS, and tethering. Period!

That's my 2 cents.
(which are NOT going to ATT)

HollywoodLeo

Steve at WWDC 2050 "And now we have finally have a plan for iphone tethering. Its only a small additional fee of $9.99 to install the new tethering software and then $15.00 monthly and you only have a 10MB cap if you go over the cap its then $5 per MB and then if your roaming its $10 per MB. I think everyone will be super excited about this!"
The crowd "Boooo! You suck!" Then the people pull out their wallets and lighters and burn their money so apple cant get anymore of it.

bdk185

I use Netshare w/o any problems, why would I pay for this feature? If you missed out on the Netshare offering then jailbreak your phone and get the same service for free.

Bkultra

1. I wouldn't (and don't) tether on a regular basis, so I'm happy using Netshare (snagged it the second time thanks to the Gizmodo notice).

2. Reader Steve totally ripped off my theory.
[sumocat.blogspot.com]

sumocat

wait til you see the PDANET application for the iphone. It crushes netshare. Also, I am not willing to pay for this either. I dont tether much, and when I use it I dont download huge files or anything. I refuse to pay extra for that

igneous

I refuse to pay extra because my plan is already capped at 250Mb!
Surely Netshare can be released in countries who don't have unlimited plans.

reckless_inoz

Lets think about this...
Tmobile Blackberry add on $19.99 - Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited tethering.
Spring Everything Plan $69.99 + 15.99 for Phone as Modem Option - still a great deal if you consider GPS, Text, blackberry and all that other stuff is thrown in.

No ways I will ever buy into this, for me the winning combination is my verizon work blackberry with the PAM option so I have real EVDO speeds when I need it, my personal blackberry with TMO... for InPrivate, I mean backup... The iPhone is a great device, but apple's attempts to make money are just bull.. I say this typing from a macbook. From what I understand apple gets a cut of the data plan...Also in all honesty, who uses their tethered connection for bit torrent? Its tough to run up the megabytes even gigabytes tethered, at least for me anyway.

zimstyles

Screw an additional $30 ON TOP OF AN UNLIMITED DATA PLAN! What part of an unlimited data plan is tough for them? I will keep my HTC and do this for FREE! It's not like we're not going to hop on a wi-fi hotspot if it's available. People that tether do so out of sheer necessity...not because you get some blazing fast connection (which you don't) that you would want to use all the time (which you won't).

smegz

Can you elaborate? You're using more, so why shouldn't you pay more?

vdubguy

I think it's pretty crappy of AT&T to charge more for tethering.

yoshi

Standalone wireless broadband plans from ATT, Sprint, and Verizon are $60/month.

That's what they cost. Whether or not they are "worth" that to you is a different story. But adding tethering to the phone for an additional $30, making the full cost of your internet plan $60 is exactly in line with the going rates.

Again, you might not think internet is worth that, but that's what it costs.

AndyDuncan

You shoulda made this a poll!

steveyun

When I had a Sprint Blackberry I always had free 3g tethering - but more importantly, the 3g worked.

3G on my iPhone freaking blows. I can look at the signal meter and in any given 5-min period see 1-5 bars, 3g and/or EDGE or no reception, while standing in the same freaking spot.

brundlefly76

Not 30 damn dollars! $30 is too much for the lousy AT&T 3G (I live in Las Vegas; very concentrated population. It should be better, faster) If I needed such a service, and were paying $60 for dial-up speed (at best, realistically) it had better be COMPLETELY UNLIMITED. Even then... that would only be out of absolute necessity. There are already cheaper options in my area with other providers.

Also, I think a good option would be for Apple to build in a 3G chip into their laptops, with an optional service plan. Not that I would like the price of that either, but I think it they do one, they should do the other. Just a thought.

DurfDiggler

Apple should embed this functionality in the iPhone, then it will be way easier to tether on my $6 T-Mobile data plan once it is hacked to pieces. Right now you have to set static IP addresses for both the computer and phone, set up an ad-hoc wifi network, and then set your apps to use a SOCKS proxy. That's way too much stuff to do routinely.

ogremustcrush

Oops someone already said that. Still worth noting.

Blinklink11

Fake imo. ATT would have been auto corrected to AT&T.

Blinklink11

i would if 1.) at&t actually made good on their 3G coverage map and 2.) 3G speeds were actually worth writing home about.

maybe i'm in the minority, but if and when i get 3G (traveling between wilmington, philly, and nyc), it's no faster than EDGE and sometimes it's even slower. i can't imagine paying more for less.

spuntyb

Ok. Does anyone really think that Steve Jobs responds to customer emails on his iPhone? I understand responding to the occasional email, but he went from responding very rarely to responding once a week now, so it seems.

I had a problem with the Apple Store about a year ago and I emailed every Steve Jobs email address I could come across and I actually got a phone call from the guy who was in charge of the Apple Stores for North America and helped me resolve my issue very promptly. And when he first called he said "Steve forwarded me your email and I am calling about it." which had me pretty awestruck, to say the least. I honestly think a lot of these are rumors though that are being perpetuated by people.

Anyone can fake an email.

chadschex

Anyone can fake an email, but I do happen to know that's sjobs email signature.

skiplightly

Let's see, pay for TWO data plans to do it with the iPhone...or do it with my normal data plan on a regular phone at no extra-extra cost...

Yeah, I'll take the latter.

cmantito

"We agree, and are discussing it with ATT."

and why insert an unnecessary comma when it's a pain using the iPhone.

MacTodd

When I got my iPhone I had a Windows Mobile htc Tilt that had GREAT 3G reception and supported teathering, copy-paste AND voice dial from a bluetooth headset. It still works and I just swap out the card when I want more than just a pretty face. Yet another reason I laugh my ass off at Apple's stupid "Geek -vs- Hippy" commercials.

MacTodd: I agree that the comma is unnecessary but that is to be expected from the under-educated. It's not really that much of a "pain" though. Just press the ".?123" button and KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE SCREEN while dragging it to the character you want. That method takes you back to the "ABC" without having to touch "ABC". That is the sort of nice-touch interface thign the Redmond boys could learn from.

SnakeFarm

ATT is not a good company. The idea that they have the bandwidth for tethering worth $30/month and also the ability to support the iphone itself and take some god damn responsibility for it is laughable to me now.

I'm inches away from ditching the iPhone and ATT and going with Android and T-Mobile. I'm just waiting for ... actual information about T-Mobiles plans and 3G coverage ... and an opportunity to get out of ATT's contract without paying an ETF.

cobaltage

The iPhone isn't any more advanced of a phone than any other smartphone. It's just got more usable SW available. Little of which is phone related.

asten77

I want to know why I can't do a "reverse" tether. For instance, I work in an office with no WiFi, and the reception in here SUCKS. I want to be able to hook up my iPhone via the cable and have it use the internet connection on my desktop machine.

Want!

brutalentropy

@MacTodd:

"and why insert an unnecessary comma when it's a pain using the iPhone."

Is that why you didn't insert a question mark?

rotorglow

As some have pointed out, tethering will only bog down the network even more. And, the cell companies have been charging for tethering for years, and I didn't see any of the numbnuts complaining now, complain then. Heck, a PC card contract costs $80 a month. If you have a cell contract with the same carrier, then it's only $60 a month. Tethering your iPhone is little different than plugging in a USB cellmodem. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything less than $30 a month on top of your iPhone contract, as that would make your total data cost, $60, right in line with what PC card and USB cellmodems charge monthly.

beetlebug62

LOL ... this 'special feature' is called Internet Sharing in the Windows Mobile world. I am, in fact, tethered over the ATT 3G network via my Blackjack right now.

To anyone wanting jump in and flame me here, think about it. You can get a WM phone that has no 3G issues and allows you to tether your phone for FREE. Or you can pay AT&T and Apple (betcha it will be a downloadable app from the app store) to do the same thing. Who exactly runs the evil empire???

b33g33

Why would I need to tether my phone anyway, I can do nearly everything on my iphone already.. What's to say I stream music 24/7 on my phone? I can understand them not wanting tethering (using it for other things), but why charge more for it?

toyotaboy02

@nachobel: FYI: Your K850i's 3G won't work on TMo's new 3G rollout.

Jimmy M

To late... I signed up for a Verizon Broadband Express card last week. It works great.

I might have considered getting an AT&T card, but: (1) Their available cards were ginormus and looked VERY outdated. (2) I already had installed a Verizon Express Card for my wife's MacBook Pro and knew it would work well, unlike the rather spotty quality of the AT&T 3G network.

So instead of a tethered iPhone I have a sleek little Verizon express card that tucks right into my MacBook Pro... no wires!

Bauart

Aside from me being able to use both 3Proxy and Netshare, if they could do it I would be willing to pay $30 more only if mail would work right and pages would load as normally as my Sprint Expresscard, which I am getting rid of as soon as I can figure out how to tether in Bootcamp XP. Right now my AT&T iPhone 3G bill should be about $90 total including tax and fees. I wouldn't mind $120 a month if they did it right.
I think it would be worth it as I am now able to record video on my iPhone with Cycorder, watch DVD quality YouTube with MxTube, I mean IMHO the phone is pretty phenomenal and is quickly approaching an area where other phones can't touch due to its growing application base, legal or pwned, it's a uber cool device hands down. But I am a tech junky and money has less value to me than others when it comes to obtaining such devices. The monthly fees are outrageous yes, but as long as there are geeky people like me buying I'm sorry to say prices won't get much lower any time soon.

urrl

as long as there's no bandwidth cap! ::cough:: Comcast!

no but seriously, i'd be curious if they rolled one out for us OG iPhone users with EDGE.
EDGE is slow but still bareable, and i'd pay $5-$10 more a month to tether even through EDGE, especially since i am already paying $10 less per month than 3G customers on AT&T, and getting 200 free SMS to boot.

djadamjay

Maybe Verizon's service works better, but that Verizon Broadband Express card costs, what, $60 per month? And that's *just* for access on a computer. Mobile data plans are sold separately.

For the same $60 per month, I could have a data plan for my iPhone AND access the Internet on my computer, killing two birds with one stone and saving money in the process. Right now, I'm paying $30 for my iPhone data plan PLUS another $80 per month for EVDO through a local provider. I'd much rather pay $60 to one company than $110 to two companies for basically the same thing.

It's the same price plan AT&T sells if you want to tether a BlackBerry to your computer, so I fail to see how it's not fair. All I ask for is to be given the same choice BlackBerry users have--I'm not asking AT&T anything more than that. If you think that $60 is unfair, then complain to AT&T that BlackBerry tethering pricing is unfair, too.

alaskanjackal

Because some rich a-hole who has more money than brains wants a pay plan for tethering, then that means we should all pay more on top of our already ungodly expensive and overpriced plans for what should be free? How about allowing it and calling it even when I pay AT&T well over what it costs for broadband in my home just for the data usage part of my family plan? How about this: you pay ME back for my pisspoor reception, dropped calls, being locked in for two years for a total cost well over what I could have paid for a new laptop (and 2 years of broadband) and having to explain to my wife why her new phone crashes regularly under normal usage while I struggle "Restoring" my own POS phone in an attempt to get what I paid for. Regardless of the validity of this rumor, I'll stand by my feelings expressed here. I have been having more buyers regret for this toy than any other, and it's getting worse by the day. Down with the Big Cell contract structure in the U.S. and anywhere else it exists, and down with the Apple /Jobs reality distortion field. It has always played out the same way when the smaller business moves up to become a larger business by employing the "we're different and care more" approach. Whether it's "Think Different," Wal-mart's "Made in America" ploy, or any politician's speech on making a positive change, it's all the same tired but effective strategy. I've supported and recommended Apple since my first home computer in high school, do I need to start rethinking things? Sent from my MF'ing iPhone

CamilleErmoo

Did anyone try typing att into their iPhones? It automatically types the correct AT&T. Why would he capitalize att when it corrects with the ampersand?

TanyaGrisha

Why should we have to pay more? Since we already pay for the use of internet though the data plan whats the difference if we use it on our Iphone or on our Laptops? Still the same internet were paying for? And If you charge as I suspect you will.. Verizon only charges $15 to do tether? Come one give us a break already…
A

Dutchmannn

Those of you who are bragging about getting tethering for free on your WinMo phones should check your Terms of Service and perhaps pipe down. All recent ToS say you have to buy a tethering plan to tether. A few years ago, AT&T was in sort of a don't ask, don't tell mode about tethering. Now, they have tethering plans for just about all phone except the iPhone. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you're not violating your ToS. I may not agree with AT&T's policies, but if I violate their ToS, they have the right to kick me off.

LilyBabalicious

I'd pay a bit for iPhone tethering as today I am a heavy user of a wireless aircard with my notebook computers as I'm very mobile in my workstyle. If I could leverage tethering and get reasonable throughput and in doing so, cancel my aircard subscription ($59/month) I'd be well ahead, financially.

LianaTobias

@dap12321, MacTodd Not to say you can ever 100% verify an email thread, but I don't think Steve would hesitate to insert a comma to separate two thoughts "because it's a pain", and as often as Steve may search for AT&T's stock name, ATT, he's probably quite used to x'ing the "AT&T" suggestion.

SonalMoth

There is a very significant difference between using data on an iPhone and tethering the iPhone to a laptop. the laptop can use FAR more data far faster than an iPhone based on the applications. How many apps can you run on the iPhone at once? And on your laptop? Point is, the carriers have to build the networks capable of that capacity and then pay for the internet access for that much data. Yes AT&T owns backbones, but I'm sure the wireless division has to pay it's share to access it.

aerych

Has anyone else looked into the fact that Iphone is using power faster than it can charge at? So if you have your iPhone plugged into and you are tethering at 3G, within 2 to 3 hours your phone will shut down.

Check the macrumors.com forums on this. This is also happening with people using GPS while on the road in their car for extended amount of time.

Keysersozeh

It's not from Steve.

His emails to me always say:

bigskyjeff

Just my 2 cents here but the iPhone autocorrects ATT to AT&T ... -Andrew Sent from my iPhone

MacauleyKollarbear

Hm, I think it's a fake reply. If Jobs was replying from his iPhone, then "att" would auto-correct to "AT&T" not "ATT". He wouldn't cancel that correction to make it say "ATT" if the & (which is in the company's name) is automatically placed.
