Makes me worry about the rumors of Apple re-directing shipments from Canada. Now that Roger's has basically redeemed themselves, the iPhone will be flying off the shelves. This had better not turn into a Wii situation. I'm not going wait a year and a half just to get an iPhone due to shortages. I'll take the next best thing.
The hopes have proven true. The iPhone phenomenon is big enough to change the wireless network in Canada to be a little better for the average consumer. It's still pricey, but at least we get something for the cost.
Gotta love how Roger's timed this. They were the evil one in the market due to their awful plans. Then, Bell and Telus release their stupid idea to charge for incoming texts drawing ire from the general population and attention from the Government. Now Roger's looks like a saint with the release of this 30$ for 6GB plan.
Brilliant PR.
