We Listened: Rogers Unveils Smartphone Tethering Policy



You can be passionate about our products, services and policies. And you’ve let us know loud and clear that you’re passionate about tethering.

We’ve listened and have some news to share.

Effective immediately, tethering will continue to be included at no additional charge for Rogers and Fido customers who subscribe to data plans of 1 GB and above (excluding those listed below). This effectively makes our current promotion (which was set to expire on May 3) our ongoing policy.

Since we announced the tethering promotion last summer, many of you have told us that tethering is an important service. We’ve heard that you want the freedom to choose how you use your data buckets – directly on your device or tethered to a computer.

We want to help you get the most out of innovative new technologies like tethering. And we’ll continue to examine our customer needs and evolve to stay ahead of the curve.

For those who don’t know what tethering is, here’s some more background.

What is Tethering?
Tethering allows you to connect a computer to the Internet by using a smartphone like a BlackBerry or iPhone. Computers typically use a lot more data when connected to the Internet than smartphones do, so make sure you’re set up with a data plan of 1 GB or above.

Why Tether?
If you’re reading this blog, I probably don’t need to tell you. It’s all about anywhere, anytime communications. There’s no need to find and pay for a Wi-Fi connection – you can browse from the comfort of your laptop, rather than the small screen of your device by tethering.

Excluded Plans
Tethering cannot be used with data plans of less than 1 GB. Also, it cannot be used with the new 1 GB+ One Rate Roaming plans (except Rocket stick plans), Family Shared Data & Voice Plans and Smartphone & Rocket stick shared data plans.

What other Mobile Internet options are available from Rogers?
In addition to tethering, Rogers also offers the popular Rocket stick and Laptops with Rocket built-in, which can be used with a wider range of data plans.

Where can I find more information on tethering?
Rogers tethering policy and FAQ can be found at www.rogers.com/tethering. Fido.ca will be updated with the new information in the next few days.

So tell us – do you tether with your mobile device? Why do you find tethering useful?

Exactly! So useful. Use it all the time on my Berry.

Its actually one thing I hate *the most* abt using Opera Mini 4.X... no copy-pasting like you can in the default berry browser.

(I hear thats been remedied in Opera Mini 5.X... just waiting for it to come outta beta now)

hey im planning to switch from bell to wind and am getting confused as to which phones exactly would work with wind. I do not want to get a wind phone since they only got the ugly ones or smartphones (i need a more traditional phone for now) but i was wondering if all phones offered by t-mobile are compatible with wind too?? And in any case what exactly am i looking for in specifications when look for a compatible phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Palm's SVP of software and services takes off, others given cash, stock to stick around (updated)



No one really knows exactly what's going on inside the walls of Palm HQ this week -- whether the company will sink or swim is perhaps a bigger question right now than it has been since its rebirth last year, and if it does swim, whether it remains independent is another matter altogether. In an SEC filing today, Palm quietly revealed that its senior VP of software and services -- Michael Abbott (pictured above), a man who has been largely responsible for webOS as a platform and the critical Mojo and Ares SDKs -- will be gone as of April 23. More interestingly, though, it had to hook up a couple other key players with stock packages and $250,000 in cold, hard cash to get them to agree to stick around for a couple years: Jeff Devine, SVP of global operations, and Doug Jeffries, the CFO. Yes, that's right -- Palm's chief financial officer may have damn near split in the past few days, which is never a good sign for a company whose financial stability is in question. More on this situation as it develops.

[Thanks, Herman]

Update: Since our original report, a number of SEC Form 4s have crossed the wire, indicating that Palm is handing out various quantities of shares to pretty much everyone on the executive roster. Acquisitions frequently involve retention deals for key company players to make sure that the buyer's new assets aren't instantly brain-drained, so it's entirely possible that this is all a harbinger of an impending deal. Palm (SEC 8-K filing)


(It's official, RIP Palm

The man who created WebOS has left the company)

A sad day indeed, HP wants to return to the mobile market w/ the help of WebOS

RIP my 600 & 680, it's too bad I never exp both of these units w/ a data plan. It was just too expensive back then, $50.00 for 25mb.

I have negative feelings about this.

I've been through so many buyouts and mergers in my career with HP it ain't funny. I started with Compaq, which bought Tandem, almost bought Gateway, then bought Digital (DEC), then with HP, Vooodoo and EDS the lastest biggie. All I feel is another wave of cutbacks on benefits, bonuses and more layoffs.

As far as what kind of products we can now produce with Palm on board, although it will help, we can use the boost in our innovative reputation in the non-macworld, but I think it's always a bad idea buying a sinking ship.

So i had sold my old Nokia E61i and went out and got Nokia E75. Mixed feelings about it. The phone is smart, light weight and really fast to operate but it does funny things time to time. Like it will just get stuck while sending an SMS and you would have to restart the phone. The Mail For Exchange will only update your Inbox emails and not other folders. Oh and the battery life is not that great.

I still like the phone alot and am using it for almost a year now but time for some change. I saw HP GListen and somewhat liked it. Can i get a unlocked GListen shipped to Pakistan ? I can't find it here.

Suggestions/Advice welcome

My use is very heavy. Long SMS, Emails tons of phone calls. Opening Powerpoint presentations and complex Excel files etc etc so need something that will support all of that for my office.

I've noticed this in a few places, even on my iPhone. The solution would be to use IMAP instead of exchange.
