That's not strictly true though. If it uses wifi then any phone that can create a wifi hotspot could be used. So any Android 2.2 phone or a previous version that's been rooted and had a wifi tethering app added like barnacle. Or even a dedicated mifi device. I think the news about this is all a little misleading.
