And you know this because you sat in AT&T’s and Apple’s last board meeting… There are plenty if apps not in the US app store, there are plenty of countries not on unlimited data plans. Maybe it’s Canada, let’s blame Rogers and boycott any Canadian vacations and Canadian produced movies…

One you are ranting about Apple, the next week the rumor mill points you towards AT&T… This is highschool BS… Stop following the pitchforks and torches, enjoy life and think for yourselves…

im in austria. my provider allows video streaming (qik, ustream, slingplayer), allows tethering and VOIP (skype, fring)

ive a non official iphone provider which is the biggest provider in austria and a iphone 3gs bought in an italian Apple Store.

Normally the best combination.

But there is no video streaming app in the appstore that works over 3G, there is no Tethering enabled cause Apple says “ask your provider” and my Provider says “ask Apple its their device” and Skype is not working over 3G even my Provider allows this ALL.

Ive solved my Tethering-Problem where no one feels responsible for. So i made help.benm.at.

And if i wanna use the other things ive to jailbreak.

Tethering is finally enabled. Apple is still an "American" gadget. So is Japan. In Japan iPhone didn't pick up at first, because Japanese watch TV on mobile, which is banned by AT&T. Apple is losing more money because of AT&T than what it would have got from International sales.</p> Yes, In Singapore, SingTel offers 50GB data @ 20 USD and I can’t use it for Skype over 3G because of AT&T.
