O2 has finally decided to do what everyone who needs mobility wanted for years… allow tethering and to use their data allowance in whatever fashion they like. The flip-flop is likely down to Apples adverts pushing the new “Personal Hotspot” which came with iOS 4.3.

Users of iPhones can now tweak their contracts (hopefully without extra charge – like me) to include tethering for no extra cost.

O2 scraps mobile tethering surcharges, cheers up a whole United Kingdom — Engadget.
