It looks like mobile data is officially dead in Canada, at least if a recent survey of pricing plans are any indication. A while back, you could get an unlimited data plan for $100/month, which was a lot, but at least it was an option. Now, however, all three carriers have added a cap on data transfers of 250 megs a month. Rogers’ is 200 megs. That might be more than enough for a BlackBerry, but come on, don’t insult your customers by calling it a PC Card plan…
In other news, Toronto Hydro says they’ll have their downtown wifi network rolling out on September 7th, so figure roaming connectivity in the core by Hallowe’en. As other companies follow suit, hopefully this will do something to disrupt the carriers.
