Canadian iPhone: Consumer Revolt against Rogers tariffs

Filed under: iPhone

When Rogers/Fido announced the iPhone voice/data plans a few days ago, the proposed rates were not received warmly. Over ten thousand people are letting their eDispleasure be heard on the “Rogers + iPhone3G == Ruined” protest website.

Canadian petitioners are unhappy with the high plan rates and the lack of inexpensive data. The site offers a list of Rogers/Fido contacts and suggests consumers take action, sending an email or letter, or calling.

The petition itself is full of impassioned feedback, suggesting that Rogers is killing a potential new market by exploiting demand with subpar overpriced service.

Are you Canadian? Let us know what you think of the the data rates in the comments.

Thanks, heath
