Rogers Caves In With New iPhone 3G Data Plan
By Michael Santo

Rogers has been criticized over the service plans it announced for the iPhone 3G (and that’s putting it mildly). On Wednesday they announced a new data plan that can be added to existing voice plans, with 6 GB of data for $30. While not unlimited, it’s significantly better than the 2 GB maximum plan previously announced.
In their press release, Rogers said:
In anticipation of iPhone 3G launch on July 11, Rogers Wireless today announced plans to open the doors of select Rogers Plus retail stores across Canada in advance of regular hours. Starting at 8:00 am July 11, Canadians will be able to purchase the new iPhone 3G at special launch day events to be held at six Rogers Plus stores across the country. Be among the first in Canada to get the next generation iPhone 3G and have the choice of a 6GB data plan through a limited time promotional price offer.
Yes, you read that right: limited time promotional price offer. You only have until August 31st to sign up for it … with a three-year contract, no less. It should be noted that the data plan isn’t limited to iPhone users.
I spoke to a Rogers representative, who clarified for me that while the contract will only be offered from July 11th - August 31st, it will run the length of the contract. After that: good luck renewing it.
We Say: Better? Yes. As good as elsewhere? Not really, and whether or not those running the multiple petitions around the Web will be happy is questionable.
