\"iPhone\"<\/a>What is with the continued negative publicity on the Rogers iPhone?<\/p>\n

Friday’s launch gave Canadians the latest generation device on the same day as it was available anywhere with among the lowest prices in the world.<\/p>\n

People seem to still be griping that Rogers has a cap on data at 6GB. Can we try to put 6GB in perspective?<\/p>\n

Remember that your cable internet, shared between all the computers in the house, has a cap of 60GB for $45.<\/p>\n

I suspect that most people will find that 6GB is virtually unlimited. Indeed, it seems that most US carriers that advertise ‘unlimited data’ actually impose limits – lower limits than Rogers’ 6GB offer.<\/p>\n

Of course, some people like to find things to complain about.<\/p>\n

Maybe it is time to kvetch about something more important – like the weather.<\/p>\n
