Turn Your Smartphone Into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
Waitasecond! I’m pretty selfish with my bandwidth. Why would I want to turn my wi-fi enabled smartphone into a hotspot? Well, maybe I would - because it’s generally easier to set up wi-fi than to set up a smartphone as a laptop modem.
Wednesday TapRoot Systems announced, for “immediate implementation into carrier networks,” WalkingHotSpot (WHS) client and server. The client will only work on WM and Symbian devices for now.
Of course, you won’t be able to buy it yourself. Nope. The idea is for TapRoot to sell this to carriers, and then the carriers will incorporate it into their devices.
