It’s interesting that Roger’s has had nearly a year to get ready for this event but is still unable to announce their rates. As many expect, Robbers (sic) will ‘reward’ Canadians for their long wait (not!). If any of the 70 or more countries carriers that join the iPhone community can do it, Rogers will likely have dubious honour of making the Canadian iPhone rollout a loser. That’s why Rogers is ashamed to announce their rates until the last minute!
