We won nothing, this is all BS.

So, according to the new prices (Cheapest $60/mth) you get:
150min Regular Talk Time (7apm to 9pm)
400mb of 3G Access Time
75 SMS (Not including MMS) (Including Incoming SMS)
Visual Voice Mail
Unlimited Access to Rogers & Fido Hotspots (If you know where it is)

Then you have to add $30/mth to have your 3G Access Limit increased to 6GB.

So basically, you are paying:
$60 + $30 + $6.95 + $0.50 = $97.45/mth + TAXES
(Cellphone Plan) + (Increase in 3G usage) + (System Access Fee (NON-GOVERNMENT) + (911 Emergency (NON-GOVERNMENT)

You still do not take into account that there is a $35 Initial Activation Fee.
You still do not take into account that it is a 36mth Contract.
You still do not take into account the CONTRACT, that allows Rogers to change prices during the 36mth while you're locked in contract.
You also have to go through the hassle of wrestling with the Call Center IF the plan changes and you wish to terminate your contract if they change the prices on you.
You still do not get Visual Caller ID.

Remember, since the CONTRACT states they can change anything on the contract as long as they give notice to you. They are within the rights to deny you to cancel when the changes has been made. They can release you from the contract out of "GOODWILL" and that is based on the discretion of the employee you are talking to when you contact the Call Center in regards to the changes.

As for Apple washing their hands on the pricing of Rogers, there seems to be a misconception. Apple is not showing their anger in response to the general public of Canada, they are protecting Rogers.

Rogers sells the iPhones at a markup which allows them to make a profit on each phone as well as lock a "customer" into a contract. Apple in turns gets their profits from each phone and contract. There was a report on how Apple gets their income from AT&T for each phone. Since Rogers requires you to activate the phone immediately upon purchase, there is no way you are going home with a non-activated iPhone. However, if you purchase from Apple Store, they are not activated, you choose to go home, hook it up to your computer and register with AT&T. There is no bad relationship with Rogers and Apple, you draw that conclusion according by basing it that it would be more advantages.

When Rogers or any company buys XX number of phones delievered over a period of YY mths, Apple cannot say, "Hey, lets screw them over by transferring them all to Europe because Canadians can't afford it." They will still have to sent XX number of phones to Rogers unless Rogers defaults on payments, which probably isn't happening.

I just wish that one day, when our children visit some country in Asia doesn't return to Canada and ask us, "Why is Canada so backward, we might as well take one step backwards and become farmers." The consumption of consumer Technologies in Asia, Europe are higher, and the prices to use these features are alot cheaper. As we continue to increase our prices, we also decline the usage, which therefore removes the needs to improve such technologies. We are pretty much going backwards.
