Rogers Canada has backpeddled
Well, kind of. [url=http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/07/09/tech-iphone.html] Rogers offers limited time reduction in rates. [/url]

Until Aug. 31, Rogers will grant you the privilege of signing a 3 year contract for $30/month which gives you 6GB of data, probably enough for the average consumer. Of course that includes no voice which starts at $20/month + $7 system access fee. Basically, for $60/month, you too can have 6GB of data and 150 minutes a month and a handful of text messages, if you sign up before August 31 and if you sign a 3 year contract.

I found this quote interesting:
"It's not very helpful when you look around the world. What does a gallon of gasoline cost, what does a can of beans cost? It's not a relevant example," he said of the international comparisons.

Funny. Telus offers $30/month unlimited data, no time limit, no 3 year contract required. Telus will also offer the far superior HTC Touch Diamond for 25% less than the iPhone. I'm a big fan of GSM technology but at some point you have to ask how much you are willing to pay for the privilege of swapping SIM cards. Looks like I've just reached my limit.
