ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TETHERING

Since introduced widely by iPhone, tethering becomes so popular today. This relatively new technology encourages more people to seek capable-devices for such mass connection. Moreover, the coming of Android that offers capability to such a feature increases the demand for tethering. What should we concern about tethering? Let us see its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

1. Using tethering feature, internet connection can be shared for two and more devices, and enjoyed by even a group of people;
2. In most countries, tethering is free. Thus, people can collect their money to pay only one internet connection subscription;
3. Also in many countries, tethering can also save you money. Logically, we do not have to buy many devices or hardware to have such a mass internet connection;
4. With tethering, we can have secure internet connection as we can act like a main server;
5. This connection can be done with some ways such as with USB data cable, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Thus, it is more flexible.

Disadvantages:

1. Tethering forces our phone, or other main devices for the mass internet connection to drain its battery more quickly, especially when we use Bluetooth to connect.
2. In some devices, especially mobile phone, we may not be able to use voice service while it is tethered. This limitation certainly blocks our important communication.
3. Tethering means we have to share internet connection to others so that the speed we gain will be less than we use it alone. It is because we use transferring media such as USB cable, Bluetooth, of Wi-Fi which surely influence the original speed.
4. Some mobile phones, especially Android need additional application for tethering capability. Therefore, we have to provide more space for such a feature.
5. Tethering capability depends on cell phone service provider and model. Thus it can be so picky to get such mass internet connection.

By knowing the advantages and disadvantages of tethering, we may be more careful in utilizing our gadget for sharing internet connection. In some occasions, tethering is good to apply but in other circumstances, such a mass connection is better to be avoided.
