After months of rumors, complaints and speculation (my own skepticisms), AT&T has confirmed that 3G tethering will be coming to the iPhone. Ralph De La Vega President and CEO of  AT&T Mobility has confirmed in an interview at the Web 2.0 summit today that AT&T is currently in the works with Apple to bring the 3G tethering option to the iPhone 3G. Personally I was a bit skeptical because the 3G bandwidth is already being shared by so much, I don’t see how they can possibly accomodate full scale web surfing from notebooks! There are are 2 ways to tether to the 3G network right now; Netshare and iModem. Netshare has been removed from the app store and iModem is exclusively to jailbroken iPhones.
