Well you would be wrong. If there is no proof of collusion between these networks I would speculate it is because no one is looking as their prices are scandalous even compared to the American networks where pricing competition has done alot for consumers.

It has been impossible for me to get my N95 to work tethered recently, although it used to work fine. I think you’re right on that Nabeel.

Granted, people have been getting away with it for a few months now, but my understanding is Rogers is not far away from completing their implementation of IMEI-specific billing for data usage.

Rogers reps did add these to existing phone plans, but Rogers has now gotten strict about it and it can only be added to a data-only account. Since Rogers (currently) bills PC Card and generic phone data the same, it works for you (and me!). The $7 unlimited plan will ONLY work with Rogers' phones, i.e. it will not work with your non-Rogers Nokia. Further, even on the Rogers' N95, the $7 plan has some limitation which the unlimited does not cover. Read the fine print, caveat emptor, etc...

The other thing is to call the president of the wireless group and talk directly. I obtained a full refund from AT&T after trying this tactic.
