One problem with that Rip. At least prob with AT&T.
There are currently two data services with AT&T.
1) old Iphone users can keep their old data plan contract, but no tethering.
2) new data plan with tethering has two service levels
a) almost no data (can not remember exact number but think 250mb)
b) Not enough (in my opinion) 2 gb
Other problem is the AT&T service (at least last year) was the edge network 90% of the time. Only 3g sig I got was mall to lake bed entrance.
BTW I have the old unlimited data plan :P

so much for that
how do they charge you for tethering???
oh well, I guess I'll buy the wifi at the hotel, and turn my Mac into a Hotspot for others to use.
charge : by the beer / redbull / shot

Last year I had full bars on all of Ivanpah. Even posted a pic to Facebook from the out & back marker. iPhone 3Gs
Even had marginal signal at harpers where other people barely had bars. Maybe I just have a lucky supper iPhone.
