Rogers Unveils New Tethering Policy

Many iPhone users who have phones that are blessed by the most holy one Steve Jobs and Blackberry users use their phones as a means for them to get their notebooks onto the Internet. That’s called Tethering and if you’re a Rogers customer, you’ve been able to do this for the last little while without a problem. Today my “best friends at Rogers” sent me an e-mail to let me know about a new policy that relates to tethering:

We’ve unveiled a tethering policy that reflects how our customers are already using data on their mobile device. Effective immediately (March 24), tethering will continue to be included at no additional charge for Rogers and Fido customers who subscribe to a data plans of 1GB and above, with a few exceptions. This new policy replaces the current tethering promotion, originally set to expire on May 3.

Very cool. Full details can be found here an you can take a look at a Rogers RedBoard entry on the subject as well. Fido customers will be able to get details on this in the next few days at www.fido.ca/tethering.

I’m sure that this announcement will make a lot of people happy. If you are happy about this or not, drop me a comment and share your thoughts.
