Well it seems that the iPhone thing won’t die for Rogers. p2pnet has a collection of links for some of the buzz that is around Rogers and the iPhone – and if you don’t like that as a news source, check out CNN. So beyond the numbers that the various sites have been tossing around, there is one thing that I haven’t seen addressed (after seeing that Bell charges a mint for GPS) – what about the other services that are data hungry – GPS? Maps? and while we are at it… what about that System Access Fee (Sign the C-555 petition) or still paying for Caller ID?

I’m on Rogers and I find their rates to be resonable with the plan that I’ve been able to tailor for my wife and myself. But I certainly don’t like the System Access Fee. But as far as the iPhone stuff goes… It might be expensive… but how often are people going to be using the 3G access – when will the more than likely be in an area that has WiFi? But if the numbers that have been crunched for average page size are true… I’m still thinking that (even thinking that the average pageview would be 1MB) 400 pages a month (10/day) while you are not at home or at work might be low but reasonable… I know that I might get stoned, and I’m certainly not thinking that the plans are “affordable” or equal… but I would really like to see real user numbers as to data usage before passing judgement.

But in the mean time… enjoy this – not embedded because it’s not family friendly.
