Well, Rogers has announced the iPhone plan prices for Canada. Just as we expected, they fucking suck. Rogers once again is screwing over it’s customers.

First off, Rogers refuses to offer an Unlimited data plan. This is basically just castrating the iPhone, since it’s all about data transfer.

Next, let’s look at the prices:

Check out all the information at: http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wireless-products/iphone_voice_data_packages

but to summarize, $60/month for a mere 400mb data and 150 minutes. up to $115/month for a mere 2GB and 800 minutes. Ridiculous.

It’s 2008 Rogers, let’s stop the wireless gouging.

So what can we do?

Why is this a competition problem? Rogers currently is the only provider with a 3G network in Canada. Hence, it’s a Monopoly. With these extremely high prices that don’t even approach the American equivalent, it’s clearly a case of Monopolistic price gouging.

Overall, we CAN change their minds, but we have to make ourselves heard. Blog about it, send angry letters, paste it all over social networks. Let’s use the internet to get the message across. Rogers needs to hear about it and needs to stop gouging it’s current and potential customers.
