AT&T is claiming once again that the much anticipated tethering for the iPhone is "coming soon."
This isn't the first time that the CEO of AT&T Wireless, Ralph de la Vega, has teased the notion of a tethering plan for the iPhone. In a somewhat reiterated event at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Fransisco last Thursday, de la Vega said that the tethering option is still forthcoming.
An AT&T spokesperson yesterday also told ComputerWorld the same thing, saying, "We plan to offer tethering on the iPhone but have not announced a date."
AppModo reports that AT&T hasn't imposed any rate plans for the promised tethering service, but they believe it could be in the neighborhood of $60 a month, as that is the current rate for BlackBerry tethering options offered on the same network.
Of course if you're currently using a jailbroken iPhone, you can already get tethering on your device.
