AT&T Wireless Hotspot Feature is Already Working with iOS 4.3 Beta

[Maura]

MacRumors reports today that they’ve heard from many iOS 4.3 beta users that the mobile wireless hotspot facility included in iOS 4.3 is already working with current AT&T tethering plans, indicating that AT&T iPhone users will be able to get the service up and running as soon as they install iOS 4.3, due for release at the end of February. Although the feature is built into iOS 4.3 and all upgraded phones will therefore have the capability to be used as a mobile wireless hotspot, whether or not you can actually use it on your own particular phone will depend on your carrier. In the US, that’s either Verizon or AT&T, of course, and with the Verizon iPhone having the feature up and running since launch, it was left to AT&T to permit and enable the feature for their customers once it becomes available when iOS 4.3 is released. As MacRumors reports, AT&T has already announced that the feature would be supported on other smartphones from February 13, and now it looks as if AT&T is already supporting the feature for iPhones too, but unless you’re an iOS beta tester, you’ll have to wait a couple more weeks to be able to use it. According to MacRumors, AT&T’s price plan for using your phone as a mobile hotspot is exactly the same as its tethering price plan, which is $20 per month for 2GB of additional data.

If you already have MyWifi On demand, would you need this hotspot from At & T?
