After the outcry caused by the announced prices of the subscriptions accompanying the iPhone in Canada, Rogers tries to take again the upper hand by proposing an option making it possible to benefit from an additional 6 GB of download for "only" $CAN 30.
This offer may appear generous when one forgets that the basic tariff remains crippling, and that in many countries (France for one) the data download is unlimited (even though the download speed can fall quickly).
It is thus more a gesture of appeasement rather than anything else; the iPhone risks not to be a success in this country.
