Mobile WiFi Hotspot capabiliti
Hi again Annu, got another one for you! 
I remember when I was at WES last year, we were told that mobile hotspot functionality would be introduced into BB6 smartphones, but that never materialized, then I could have sworn we were told the same for BB7, yet that functionality is still missing.
Given that this is already a feature for many Android phones, it sounded like a great thing for BB users to be able to share their data plans with other devices over wifi.
What are you able to tell us about this functionality? Is it something that we may still see and simply requires a software upgrade (assuming of course that your carrier will allow it)? Or has RIM had to remove this functionality?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
