Bell adds Internet tethering mention to smartphone plans

Tethering seems to getting more popular, maybe not enough so that everyone wants it, but at least at the point that non-geeky users seem to at least know what it is. And with that it seems more carriers are beginning to add options for tethering. Of course the most wanted, AT&T and the iPhone, is still not showing any sign of coming soon but others are.

This latest case is coming out of Canada, and the carrier is Bell. Anyway, it appears that they have added a mention of Internet tethering in with their smartphone plans. The plan details now read the amount of bandwidth allowed followed by “of data for personal email, Internet browsing, instant messaging, and tethering.”

The end is the key portion here, but unfortunately it looks like this tethering allowance is combined with the regular data usage. In other words, users will have to be careful and not go over the allowance. So maybe its not ideal but at least its available.
