Mobile Data Rates in Canada

[trew]

I know someone who signed up for a EVDO air card in the States, but uses it exclusively in Canada. He pays $100 US a month, and gets completely and totally unlimited data on Canadian networks.

How can they say our data costs reflect higher infrastructure, when they allow roaming data users from the States free run?

Business wise I am unable to sell the cellular option of a central control system in Canada because of some BS about bandwidth consumption that Rogers won't allow. The thing I find interesting though is that In the states the only provider that will allow this type of data to be transmitted is Verizon

It's not just about the fine print.. it's about the crazy billing policys... Data service listed as "ONLY 5 cents a Kb!!!!!!!!!"... then you read Kb's are rounded to the next 10.... so technically a 1kb web page costs 50 cents... even though you only needed to down load 1Kb.

Garbage really... if the whole thing wasn't such highway robbery, there wouldn't be 10 to 12 Cell phone outlets in every sub division, strip mall in the county..
