How Will iPhone Affect Rogers Data Plans

Let's assume that Rogers is going to get the iPhone. Since the iPhone needs an unlimited data plan in order to utilise all of the apps the device has to offer, doesn't that put Rogers in a dilemma? They've been hosing us on data, but COULD they now be forced to reconfigure all their data plans in order to accommodate the wave of iPhone buyers? Or will Rogers NOT take on the iPhone because it will cost them too much to match the US carrier data plans? I don't see Rogers giving iPhone users unlimited data, and keeping BB plans at their current levels. So maybe the iPhone will help lower our data costs. What do you think?
 
Wave of iphone buyers? what wave? its not like everyone can afford the 400$ and 500$ USD phones. Prices in canadian funds will be even higher. Data plans will offer more bandwidth allowance in the future, it already started to.
 
agreed, if anything rogers will follow suit with at&t's plans of an iPhone only plan, all I can see that doing is forcing me to call Rogers and hold that against them to get a better BB Data Plan...I can hear the conversation now...me '' but the iPhone has Unlimited data for $30'' csr ''But the iPhone is a new revolutionary device that is unique and therefore requires a unique plan'' me ''How much did u say it was to cancel my account again, oh ya thats right ..NOTHING!! i have no contract, how long does it take to port my number out" csr ''lemme get you over to our customer relations team'' lol
