Comment on AT&T aggressively moving against unauthorized tetheringparent

Comments

I don't know what Verizon does (I'm at AT&T customer) but "Personal Hotspot" is simply the new term for "tethering".

Yeah, "tethering" was previously usb, then bluetooth (ooh, almost forgot IR tethering). Now that you can tether with wifi, they changed the marketing term to "personal hotspot"

Oh, man. I remember tethering my Zaurus over IR on the train, trying to keep the Zaurus and the phone lined up so it wouldn't drop the connection. I think I did that just once.
