Apple to add Wi-Fi hotspot to GSM iPhone with iOS 4.3 - rumor
By Slash Lane
Published: 04:15 PM EST
The new Personal Hotspot feature on iOS 4.2.5 will not remain exclusive
to the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4, and will arrive with the release
of iOS 4.3 for existing GSM-based handsets, according to a new rumor.
As reported by iPhoneHellas.gr, (via Google Translate), the feature
will be part of a purported update in the works known as iOS 4.3. The
rumor was credited to "reliable information" obtained by the site.
The Personal Hotspot feature is included in a new version of iOS,
dubbed 4.2.5, that was spotted on pre-release CDMA iPhone hardware
shown off at Tuesday's Verizon iPhone press conference. The feature is
found in the Settings application on the phone, where it can be turned
on or off and the Wi-Fi password can be changed.
In July, iPhoneHellas.gr correctly indicated the release date of iOS
4.0.1. The publication also correctly stated the release of iPhone OS
2.2 in 2008, 10 days in advance.
In addition, on Tuesday iPhoneclub.nl (via Google Translate) also
reported that the iOS 4.3 update will only support the mobile hotspot
feature, which allows up to five devices to be connected to a 3G data
connection over Wi-Fi, will only be available if a carrier offers it.
AT&T famously did not allow tethering on the iPhone in the U.S. even
after Apple had added the ability to share a wireless Internet
connection via USB or Bluetooth to its mobile operating system. The
feature eventually arrived last June alongside new, capped data plans.
Tethering with an iPhone on AT&T costs an extra $20 per month.
When asked by AppleInsider on Tuesday whether AT&T will offer the
Personal Hotspot feature on its network, a company spokesperson said
they wouldn't "speculate" on potential future features. Apple has not
made any mention of the Personal Hotspot coming to existing iPhones
since the feature was first revealed on Tuesday.
The last time a supposed iOS 4.3 was mentioned was in November, when it
was suggested the software update could add recurring application
subscriptions with software on the App Store. Such a feature could
allow iPad users to pay to subscribe to a regularly updated
publication, like a newspaper or magazine.

I could read it fine, and will copy if others cannot.
apparently this feature is only available if the carrier offers it.
at&T does not on the personal level, its an extra $20.
Since the feature is already built into the new verizon phone, they must plan
to offer it for free, its in the settings menu and can just be turned on or off.
Or so I gathered from a fast read lol.
