3G iPhone Coming To Canada
April 29th, 2008
Rogers has announced that the 3G version of the iPhone is coming to Canada later this year. While many Canadians have been happily using their iPhones for awhile now, most have not been able to use the iPhone to its full potential due to the terrible data plans offered up here in Canada.
“One of the things I think we need to be aware of is pricing works on data, where we price it by the application,” Rogers Communications president and chief operating officer Nadir Mohamed said Tuesday during a news conference before the company’s annual shareholders meeting.
It was long rumored that the only reason the iPhone was not made available in Canada was because of our dismal situation in terms of data plans from the Canadian carriers, but Tuesday’s announcement suggests that there will be some big changes to the data plans to accomodate the iPhone and other smart phones.
