iPhone Tethering with Telstra Next G on the agenda (again)
If you use wireless broadband on Telstra’s Next G network with an iPhone it’s not straightforward to tether the iPhone to a laptop and use it as a wireless broadband modem. Telstra came under some criticism from their customers over this and said last July that the fault lay with Apple rather than themselves in that Apple had disabled the tethering functionality.
Tethering is a feature that is very much in demand and 3 Mobile and Vodafone both allow iPhone data tethering free of charge. Optus also allow iPhone tethering for a fee. However it looks like Telstra have started listening to their customers and they have again announced that they are working with Apple to enable Next G tethering with the iPhone.
No dates have been announced but Telstra CEO, David Thodey, has said that they are ““listening to our customers on this issue”.
