When 5 megs of data costs $25, and “Unlimited” data (At an astounding $100 per month) is capped at 25 megs, companies like Rogers (and the other carriers are not much better) will be left wondering why the mainstream consumer shuns mobile data.

The current costs are simply rediculous unless some corporation or company is paying your bill for you. Joe Consumer who simply wants to check the sports scores on the web and email his friends and familly aren’t going to pay $100 per month for the privledge.

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 12:45:47 +0000 http://www.blackberrycool.com/2006/09/07/002247/#comment-46933 [...] Digressions aside, we originally had dates for late October, now news from the Globe and Mail says that the Pearl is headed for Canadian land next week. And it seems our pal Jim, who’s been extremely busy, may be getting a little aggitated. “I’m not supposed to preannounce another carrier’s launch plans next week, but I don’t think these things will be very long,” Jim Balsillie, RIM’s chairman and co-chief executive officer, said yesterday. “Heaven forbid that September should end without these things being announced.” [...]
