According to Sagem Orga, “The new generation USIM card “SIMFi” can be inserted in any type of classic handset to act as a universal and interoperable HSPA/Wi-Fi router for any device.” The cards are being made now for Telefonica, though no release date was announced. I for one never knew you could fit WiFi circuitry into a 25 x 15 x 0.76mm footprint but this should be some exciting news for the future of tethering.
