Sprint Says Discussing Pre Tethering is a No No

There was a brief period during the waning days of summer 2008 when you could buy a tethering app for the iPhone 3G. Tethering is technique that lets you share a phone’s wireless data service with another device such as a notebook. However, Apple pulled the app from the iTunes App Store within a few weeks (presumably at AT&T’s request). If you want to do that today, you need to jailbreak your iPhone and purchase (or otherwise obtain) a tethering app outside of the conventional iTunes store route.
