Rogers (Canada’s only GSM provider) has caved to the pressure from customers and Apple. For a limited time (July 11th till August 31st) they’ll be offering a pretty generous 6Gb data plan for the iPhone for just $30. That’s actually better than the AT&T plan, which has an unofficial cap at 5Gb. Of course, as with most Candian plans, customers will still need to sign a 3 year agreement.

Customers attending launch day events at these Rogers Plus stores will be treated to a free early bird breakfast and have a chance to win Rogers Wireless prizes. Effective July 11, and as a limited time promotional offer for customers who activate by August 31 on a three year contract, a data-only offering of 6GB of data for $30 per month is being made available that can be added to any in-market voice plan. For example, with 6GB of data, iPhone 3G users can visit 35,952 web pages, or send and receive 157,286 emails, or watch 6,292 minutes of YouTube videos each and every month.(xx) New Canadian iPhone 3G customers will also have the choice to select from Rogers Wireless’ existing voice and smartphone data plans and/or additional features to best suit their needs, or from Rogers Wireless’ value bundled plans specifically for iPhone 3G.

Color me impressed, I just hope they’ll offer a similar plan for Blackberry users when they introduce the Bold, because they have been asking for better data plans for years, and it seems pretty unfair to ignore them too. I guess it just shows what the power of the Internet (and bad PR) can be.
