Telstra working on iPhone tethering

Telstra has revealed it is considering plans to allow customers to tether their Apple iPhones.

While some other local carriers such as Optus and Vodafone have allowed users to access the internet using their iPhones since the 3GS launch (Optus costing $10 per month), Telstra has not allowed customers to use the feature.

However, Telstra CEO David Thodey stated on the telco's Exchange site today: "We are listening to our customers on this issue and, while I can't provide any specific dates, we are working with Apple to enable tethering on the iPhone. I will keep everyone informed about our progress".

Some on the Telstra Exchange site have their doubts about Telstra's follow-through on tethering, with commenter James stating: "I've already gone with a different provider for my latest fibre install by way of protest ... can't be working too hard — this feature has been out since June 26 or so. It will probably be time to replace my handset with an Android by the time this is fixed. I just hope the Dec 3 rumour is on the money."

Telstra's hesitation on adopting tethering has caused some frustration with customers, and it is currently unknown whether Telstra will charge its customers extra to use iPhones as a modem for their computers.

A Telstra spokesperson confirmed the comment was Thodey's and not an impersonator, but declined to comment further on the issue.

    You ain't seen nothing yet. Surely a new look for Australian Business Administration with a mingle of People Power. Thank you zdnet.com.au for embracing this achievement and to the magnificent Telstra Team.

    Your right, to an extent Anonymous -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392274)

    You are right Vasso, we ain't seen nothing yet.. It's the same nothing we have (or would it be haven't?) seen. Telsta just needs to, excuse the French, "wake da f%#k up" and start listening to it's customer base. As a shareholder, I guess you would have the obvious invested intreast in the way telstra is marketing itself..

    With the federal govt. Moving in, you as an shareholder should be telling telstra to start making it's mobile plans a tad bit more attractive and for it to start focusing in this area before it misses out and try and get some of it's customers back from the likes of 3 and optus that have better data plans..

    Ps $50 per month on top of the plan amount for 1gb is a joke..

    Again, Telstra "wake da f%#k up" already..

    You will be loosing one more customer unless you start changing you data plans.

    I must have committed a cardinal sin Vasso Massonic -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392369)

    After a five year battle, I've been banned from Telstra's Exchange Forum!

    But what the hell, I must thank those that deserve my thanks. It's a weird world we live in.

    Dear Senator Bob Brown,

    It is quite obvious that your support and amendments for a fair regulatory treatment of Telstra, along with the other independent Senators, had the desired effect of, possibly, shelving Conroy's legislation pending the finalising of the current negotiations in the right atmosphere and spirit.

    I am also delighted that our Senate resisted the pressure to rubber stamp important legislation for no apparent or justifiable reasons. Our Senate is an essential house of review and not a production line at the whim of the powers that be..

    I now intend to close the book on this chapter and cease the E-mail barrage, secure in the knowledge you will continue to do the right thing by millions of Employees, Consumers and Investors who help keep our telecommunications industry in the forefront of technological advancements.

    Enjoy the Festive Season. Your support staff have been wonderful, kindly pass my deepest appreciation to them.

    Kind Regards

    Vasso Masonic & Family.

    Wot? Where is this news of B.Brown? Or is this just made up?

    And what? Telstra has 'banned' one of its crazy TLS loonies that really are just leaving foul tastes in everybodys mouth the apparent greed of some TLS shareholders? Gee wonder why? you really dont seem to help telstra much.

    Um.. Anonymous -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392376)

    Did you even read what that article said? Or did you just glace at it and nit pick what you liked?

    Firstly.. Do a 'Ctrl-F' and paste the bit in that even mentions his name? Thats right, there is not even one mention of his name.

    Your letter seems to stipulate that it 'will' be posponed to sittings in Feb. However, if you read the article, it does not say this at all. The article is littered with *if's*

    From reading it, it sounds like the one you should be really trying to convice would be Fielding. All the others seem to be on board (albiet some admendments).

    Also to quote that article

    "Whichever way the Senate leans, at least for Senator Conroy, both outcomes have the potential to be a blessing. On one hand, convincing the Senate to approve his Competition and Consumer Safeguards bill will show the sector that the government really does have telecoms competition and value for consumers at heart. It will also give the government the power to see Telstra's business cleaved in two in the event negotiations with the telco break down.

    On the other hand, failure to pass the bill before the week's end will give the government more time to negotiate with Telstra and come to a mutually acceptable deal on the possible sale of some of the telco's assets.
    "

    You really do need to take off those rose coloured glasses there Vasso. Seriously, it is no wonder when Telstra took down your letter due to it being 'grossly' incorrect.

    Wake up and smell the truth Vasso.

    Come on Telstra - wake up and use google! Anonymous -- 21/11/09

    I've been using my iphone in tethered mode on the Next G network for ages with a simple Internet hack, you don't even have to jailbreak the iphone to do it. As a result I use a "3" USB stick for most things and when I need the Next G coverage area, I use part of my 150Mb per month allowance by tethering the iphone to my laptop via bluetooth. All I can say is 2 things - 1. Wake up Telstra - customers already do this, it's nothing new AND 2. When the @#% are Telstra going to listen to their customers and stop charging like wounded bulls for so little data allowance on their netowrk it's pathetic. 150Mb is NOT a suitable allowance for even $10 per month - Try starting at 1Gb for $10 per month and you might trump "3" or "Vodaphone".. Oh - and try giving out proper routed IP addresses too instead of non-routable private NAT IP's for your Next G network! As a customer I watch with interest to the next line of spin Telstra can suck up.

    I forgot to mention: Anonymous -- 21/11/09 (in reply to #320392323)

    Oh yes, and I also cancelled my Bigpond wireless service because for adhoc use, tethering the iphone or using a cheaper "3" usb modem is much better for smart customers.

    Telstra's wonderful prices Anonymous -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392324)

    For my own mobile internet use I prefer Dodo's $140 15gb/year plan (using the optus network). Do the math and its $420/year for a measly 150Mb/month with Telstra or a much friendlier $11.60 for 1250Mb/month with Dodo.
    Now tell me again why the F*&K ANYONE would chose telstra for their mobile broadband service? Hell, why would anyone choose Telstra for ANY service??

    Coverage and network load Craig Ringer -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392428)

    Dodo just resell Optus mobile broadband services. The Optus network is a bit overloaded at present thanks to all those iPhones, so in some areas mobile data can be a bit flakey or slow.

    I'll give Telstra one thing - their coverage is good, and their prices do keep usage down so the network is fast and responsive. My phone (an E71 admittedly, so not comparing apples to Apples) on Telstra is notably more so than my girlfriend's phone (an iPhone) on Optus.

    You sure do pay for the privelege though, and Optus's coverage seems to be close to on par so it's mostly an edge in network performance.

    Why do I have a Telstra phone? Because work's paying, and they pay my data bill too. Otherwise there's no frickin' way I'd use it.

    If they try to charge me separately for using HSDPA depending on whether the bytes stop in the phone or are further relayed from the phone to my laptop via USB or Bluetooth, I'll be outta there in an instant.

    Meanwhile those of us with non-Apple phones just do it Craig Ringer -- 23/11/09

    "working on"?

    Working on a way to charge for, one presumes.

    Practically every non-Apple phone "just works" as a tethered device, via one or more of Bluetooth PAN, Bluetooth DUN, USB DUN or USB Ethernet NIC interfaces. The carrier doesn't have to do anything special - the same GPRS or HSDPA data support used to carry data for the phone's own web browsing, email access, etc is used for tethering.

    I just hope Apple's decision to do this in such a backwards manner doesn't lead carriers to think it's reasonable to charge separately for "tethered" data.

    Data charges are quite bad enough without being forced to pay for two separate "data packs" with separate allowances that don't roll over month-to-month, can't be merged or shared, and are counted in min 1Mb increments measured in tiny
    time periods.

    Once again, thanks for nothing Apple.

    This Apple stinks really really bad. Zig -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392354)

    Made the mistake of getting an iPhone.

    Not only does tethering not "just work" like every other phone, there is no task management with audible reminders built in to its calendar. this means you cannot sync tasks with outlook because there is nothng to sync to.
    What a joke!

    Even my 2 year old Nokia 6120C could do that

    Not just that Craig Ringer -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392396)

    Full featured bluetooth - file transfers etc? Nope.

    USB "tethering" via DUN or USB NIC interfaces? Nope.

    Bluetooth "tethering" via PAN or DUN interfaces? Maybe, but only recently and only with carrier "$help$" or unfriendly hacks.

    Background applications? *hahahaha*. Over Apple's dead body. And who'd want to keep their GPS/mapping app open while using their web browser and a route recording program anyway? Not, apparently, an iPhone user.

    Install your own programs on the phone you purchased? When hell freezes over. It's the Apple-vetted iPhone store for you, buddy, because we know better than you.

    Install cross-platform apps written in Java, or built using Qt? Nope, that might violate the last point and relax Apple's total stranglehold.

    Install apps that Apple doesn't want you to have? Nope - for your own protection, of course.

    Don't get me wrong, there's plenty wrong with the other mobile platforms too. S60 is the least awful at the moment for me. For many others Android is a good fit, though I can't put up with the lack of SSL client cert support, lack of self-signed SSL cert support, broken IMAP, and general flakeyness when not using Google services. Some do best with the iPhone - despite its limitations, it does some other things amazingly well and it's cool if you don't mind having no control over your own hardware. Windows mobile works well for people on MS Exchange-based business networks. They all suck in their own ways ... but unlike iPhone, they don't try to pretend to be perfect and to know what you want better than you do.

    Personally, I'm hoping that the buggy and immature Maemo platform grows up into something nice, with full user ownership/control, a nice Qt-based dev suite, and hopefully a good library of appealing apps.

    free Tethering Enan Jupp -- 23/11/09

    Testra should not have the right to charge more if tethering goes ahead. You have to sign up to their data pack which is the same costing as every other handset through telstra(which does tether), I see why optus etc charge and that is because they have different rates for their iphones than their other phones. If you are listening to your customers Telstra, make sure you charge no more for tethering!

    Some other explanation surely. Sydney Lawrence -- 23/11/09

    Renai, like you, I was slightly astounded that Telstra would ban Vasso after his five years of unpaid devotional and extremely faithful service.

    I refuse to believe that those in authority at Telstra Exchange would be conned by the duplicitous campaign of Telstra opponents to vilify Telstra supporters.

    Dear oh dear... RS -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392434)

    I think the only way for it to get through to you Sydney is for us to hire the Fisherman's Friend lady, to smack you across the melon with a dead fish.

    Get behind David Thodey and stop undermining him, with your continued Sol negativity, as you are continuing to turn people "against Telstra - THAT'S THE MESSAGE COMING THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR.

    Sol tried and failed blaming the big bad ACCC, the whole world is against poor Telstra and the rest of the cr*p you guys regurgitate endlessly.

    By closing NWAT, Mr. Thodey was distancing himself from such an idiotic approach, only to have you guys, resurrect it over and over, each day and call those who disagreed - disparagers, morons and whatever else. Oh, look you're doing it again, lol...

    Gee that's a good way to make friends and influence people!

    Maybe Vasso's little excitement was a wake up call to pull your heads in.

    Man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies. Sydney Lawrence -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392444)

    RS really you are having problems with your ability to disseminate the truth and to anilitically find honest solutions to problems.

    Firstly, let me tell you that at no time have I had doubts as to the ability or resolve of Mr Thodey to maintain and promote the interests of Telstra.

    You do me an honour to infer that my humble effort to counter your shameful disparagement of Telstra could be noticed by Mr Thodey.

    Your silly illogical scheme to label Telstra supporters as the enemy of Telstra borders on lunacy and for you to not understand this reflects poorly on your reasoning.

    Sydney greatest hits - a broken record of lies... RS -- 23/11/09 (in reply to #320392485)

    Sydney you will need two fish...or for educational purposes, a "school of fish" (how droll)

    Of course David Thodey remembers you, you were the only non-shareholder at the AGM [sic] remember and you confronted him, wearing Elton Johns shirt and Mr.T's bling. We all saw you on the video, I actually mistook your for Barry Manilow remember?

    The fact that you would have talked complete rubbish, by disgracefully comparing your share fight to the ANZACS and JC, probably would have been a factor for him remembering you too!

    You could imagine what Thodey whispered to his 2IC when you finally left him alone -

    Who the ***k was that?

    Ah, that was our #1 supporter Mr. Thodey!

    God ****ing help us!

    Or words to that effect, lol!

    Speaking of realisations and disseminating the truth.

    You will recall (or perhaps you won't, as it is the truth) when I told you NWAT will close many months ago. I didn't know but, unlike you I can perceive things. It was as obvious as your greed is large.

    NWAT was only being updated twice a week, then once a week, once every two weeks and you maniacs kept talking complete jibberish, contradicting yourselves and basically wallowing in your TLS greed.

    You called me a fool for suggesting NWAT would close. Well...

    Now add that to the fact you actually purchased TLS shares at $7.40 which are now worth $3.33 and I didn't. And ...

    Then after today again saying "Spend and compete Telstra opponents", yawn. If you are going to claim something back it up! I have asked you many times the below questions but you skulk off and avoid the truth like its the plague. So tell us about the -

    D3 satellite and other Optus satellites?

    Internodes WI-MAX?

    Other companies - like iiNet and Primuss DSLAMs?

    Optus' HFC?

    Optus and Vodafone's mobile networks?

    Optus planned LTE trials?

    All of which apparently don't really exist, according to you?

    And what about our favourite, since all the access seekers here are leeches is TelstraClear leeching in NZ?

    I won't hold my breath for even one answer, let alone an actual sensible one.

    Sell the shares and smell the roses Sydney!

    Hi Vasso welcome back from the Telstra grave, lol...

    Funny eh. Even when I praise Telstra the disgusting greed filled few still want to argue. Dammed if you do....

    One thing we'll never have to worry about in reverse eh? You will never praise any other comms company, it isn't in the portfolios interest eh greedy man?

    But gee, you weren't so mouthy this morning, when you thought your wonderful Telstra had shafted you, lol...

    Finally you praise Mr Thodey 21/11, wow, good for you.

    But do you think "I brought down NWAT"? Why thank you. If I was part of it I appreciate that compliment, because it was one of the most disgustingly greed and lie, filled sites ever. Cheers Vasso...

    But this is just like being at NWAT anyway, Va$$o and $yndey with your box of flip-flopping $hareytale$!

    Now look at the bigger picture, because I can't take all the credit for NWAT's downfall (thanks again!!!). As I have said, you greed filled maniacs with your idiocy, are getting everyone off side and thats "exactly how I got involved" in this debate. Because of you and Syd's drivel, how ironic, eh?

    So in a round-a-bout way, while I do feel such pride for you saying I brought down NWAT, if it wasn't for your portfolio driven lies, I would never have even been there - what a tangled web we weave, eh?

    My last informative post on Telstra exchange was 22/11 and I haven't been given the flick, unlike you were until you begged forgiveness and to be let back in, lol.

    Can you ever get anything right, even once?

    Nice desperate avoidance of the questions, topic and truth - as usual though, yawn! So I am on your black list, oh no, will I ever sleep again...

    You pull the same lame stunt every time questions are asked, due to your total lack of comms knowledge. I won't say lack of intelligence, because you are most intelligent, but in a disgracefully, greedy, sneaky way.

    WHY DON'T YOU JUST ANSWER? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? Oh, of course, the truth...

    Here's some typical Vasso/Telstra logic in practice! Yes I'm green with envy at your 18 000 TLS shares (which have no bearing on your always 100% biased Telstra idiocy, of course, lol) that are now worth half as much as you paid! I really missed out there.

    But I can compenstate with more Telstra logic. I could go down to the bank and withdraw enough money to buy 9000 TLS shares and flush it down the toilet. Then I can blame the water authorities, Caroma, Wonder soft, Toilet duck, the bank and everyone but me, even God, lol...

    So talking about village idiots, VASSO, thank goodness only one disgusting, greedy village idiot, is unfortunately swept to our shores from Africa every 100 years.

    But now that you are here, please enjoy the hospitality of your TLS share losses, because I now, I certainly am, lol..

    And how exactly did Sydney do that, when he is not even a Telstra shareholder? So he has claimed many times and keeps claiming, to try to vainly prove his non-bias, lol!!

    And how would you know anyway, when (c/- Mrs. Lawrence shares) Sydney was at the AGM, showing off the new summer "Elton/MR.T collection", while you were, so you said, at home - standing and saluting, obviously?

    Oh he voted in person and you voted via proxy, I see.

    But how do you know how Sydney voted (even though he's not a shareholder) as he would have voted (even though he's not a shareholder) directly at the AGM and how would he know how you voted when you mailed your form?
