Although you wouldn’t be able to tell from their website, Rogers has begun rolling out a new data plan for 15 GB at $150/month, hinted at earlier this summer. I gave Rogers a call to see what’s up, and apparently they’re just soft-launching it for now to guage interest, which, as you can imagine, might be fleeting. The only instance one could imagine such a plan having any appeal whatsoever is if the customer is packing a Rocket Stick and use it as a primary internet connection for relatively heavy-duty use, or split it among multiple users. Data costs 1 cent/MB if you somehow manage to go over your 15 GB limit. Currently, the 6 GB/$30 plan should handle the overwhelming majority of smartphone users, but apparently the promotional price will be running out on September 24th. What do you guys think – $150 is pretty insane for an individual to be shelling out every month, but is there a corporate need for this volume of wireless data?
