for those with root the tether apps are attached

pulled from phandroid.

Well folks, it’s here. We thought Google would permanently deem the G1’s tethering abilities to be  innocent due to its opensourceness and free-reign policy. Times have changed, however, and now it seems as though Google has hit their first “Oops! Not everything can be accepted!” roadblock. Recently, the Andwebz have been inundated by news that Google has blacklisted the tethering apps available in the Market. Following this news, Google has now restored the tethering apps to the worldwide Market - that is - except for those of us in the “land of the free”. Yes, you guessed it: T-Mobile isn’t digging the whole tethering game.

Is anyone feeling betrayed, right now? Just me? Certainly I never expected the tethering policies of a carrier to change simply because of a new OS. Maybe a little change would be nice, though. There are a couple of reasons I feel personally betrayed. The first is the fact that when I joined T-Mobile’s bandwagon, I thought that the T in it’s name stood for Tether, which makes perfect sense. I mean, who wouldn’t want to join a carrier that had hardware from HTC, software from Google, and was named Tether-Mobile? Reallyseriously

thats not a good look considering other carries (Sprint) do allow tethering on their networks.

have a couple of friends who have no problem with it using their WinMo phones.

Yeah, tethering is still completely possible, you just won't be able to find any of the tethering apps on the market anymore.


And I wonder if Phandroid really thinks the "T" in T Mobile stands for "tether," or if they were referring to something someone else called it.

TMO is trying to market winmo phones and BB's with the addition of tethering as n added feature eventho its really not an added feature.  Any data capable handset should allow you to tether.  I was upset when tmo went thru and completely disable the port so that the behold couldn't do it.

Something like OI File Manager, or Linda File Manager, or Astro, or Discover, etc.  It lets you look at the files in your phone.  Find the file you downloaded, and long press on it. This should give you the option to install. If it does not, search for package installer in the market and try again.
