Canadian carrier Rogers told Electronista on Wednesday that the Personal Hotspot feature coming to the GSM iPhone in iOS 4.3 would be free. Anyone with a plan on Rogers or Fido that already qualifies for tethering, starting at 1GB of higher, can share the connection with up to five Wi-Fi devices without affecting the price or the bandwidth. In the US, Verizon is charging $20 for the same feature and caps it at 2GB where Rogers lets users rely on caps that are as high as 5GB for regular users and 6GB for those who seized on 6GB promo plans.
