no you've been stealing service for three years now. read your contract its says tethering is not allowed plain and simple. just because you can do it does mean its OK.
the number of people that have purchased an unlocked phone make it a pretty small class. and that was probably an oversight that will be corrected in 3.1.2
Of course thats only if they don't randomly change your plan so you end up with a $2000 phone bill for one month. This has happened to a friend of mine on sprint 3 TIMES.
in the US, a Sprint Simply Everything plan (includes Unlimited data use) is around $1000.00 cheaper a year to have.
When will you idiots stop acting like tethering is allowed on any US carrier. SPRINT DOES NOT ALLOW TETHERING with smart-phones. Neither does any other us carrier. Sprints everything plan explicitly says tethering is not allowed.
If you read the article you'll see that it's not just AT&T that Apple did it for. It's across all providers even if they have a legally unlocked phone and approved tethering in their contracts.
No that would be all non-apple providers. Tethering still works fine on apple providers except for AT&T. Of course the unlocked phones are a mistake expect a a 3.1.2 update to re-enable tethering there (to not do so would put Apple in hot water where unlocked phones are required by law)
No boom there... just an emphatic poof...and this is absolute worse case purposely pushing way more current into the battery then intended. Given enough current I could make a potato explode.
AND DID YOU NOTICE in every instance the Li-Po battery swells to at least twice its normal volume before Flameout a pretty obvious warning sign. Of course you don't see the same experiment with other battery types as the people that tried it are still picking bit of battery out of the flesh.
The iPhone has a lot of energy stored in a fragile container, and damage to that container can release the energy and cause a fire or explosion.
Once again I'll say it Li-Po's don't explode. Unlike metal encased li-ions or Ni-cds or even alkaline batteries, Li-Po's have no ridged containment to hold and build up any significant pressure required to get an explosion.
An iPhone will shut down long before that point. The only way for its battery to fail that way is from internal damage to the battery or a failure of the batteries charging circuits while plugged in.
people break all sorts of phones all the time. I know a guy that buys used Treos in bulk off eBay because he destroys them so often. And Face facts the iPhone is built much heavier and stronger than half the phones out there precisely because its designed as on solid slab
There is no way someone could be texting while an iPhone overheats and breaks the screen without warning. While a battery failure could build up enough heat to damage the phone, the iPhone has several temperature sensors that would cause the phone itself to shutdown and stop working beforehand.
French people are dirty filthy liars. OK it might have made that one up just to piss people off.

So they disabled your illegal hack preventing you from stealing service...cry me a river.
in the US no carrier supports tethering a smartphone period.
RTFA...tethering works fine on a legitimate plan. Your 100% good to go.
it may also be easy to rob a bank but that doesn't make it legal.
There's no good reason to disable tethering on foreign networks
Which is why they didn't ...RTFA
Yes ZERO is a small number silly. the point was you can't but a tethering plan in the US so no US users have been affected.
the number of people that have purchased an unlocked phone make it a pretty small class. and that was probably an oversight that will be corrected in 3.1.2
And it still is ...your point being???
sorry to burst your bubble but no US carrier offers tethering for smart phones. NONE NADA ZERO
Of course thats only if they don't randomly change your plan so you end up with a $2000 phone bill for one month. This has happened to a friend of mine on sprint 3 TIMES.
Try $99 for a smartphone

The last sentence says it all. We simple expect innovation now. Plus innovation goes in spurts and in different fields.
Same unit floating off the coast 2 billion dollars
What Could Go Wrong!!!

Uhhm they do. In fact with LiPo and Li-ion there part of the battery
Guess what? Li-Po's don't explode...but NiCds Do. ....iPhones do not use Li-ion batteries

I think you sorta missed the point. Apple is saying these stories are BS and there where no explosions just people breaking their phones.
Li-Po batteries do not explode
They can over heat expand and catch fire
