Hi,
According to the Rogers FAQ regarding the OS3, this is what they have to say about tethering :
Can I tether on my iPhone?
To use tethering or wireless modem functionality you require the new iPhone 3G S, or an iPhone 3G that has been upgraded with the new iPhone OS 3.0 software. Until December 31, 2009, if you have subscribed to a data plan which includes at least 1GB of data you may use tethering as part of the volume of data included in your plan at no additional charge. Tethering cannot be used with data plans of less then 1GB.
Will data charges for tethering be free?
No, tethering data usage will come out of your existing data bucket.
When will I be able to tether on my iPhone?
Customers with an iPhone 3G S will be able to tether right away. For customers with an iPhone 3G, who have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0, we expect tethering to be fully operational for all iPhone customers shortly after the OS 3.0 release.
What will happen on December 31, 2009 when the promotion expires?
Rogers will continue to enable tethering on devices that allow it, but data plans will be adjusted to better reflect the way customers are using tethering services.
Perhaps I'm a bit confuse, but it seems that the answer regarding about what happens after December 31 are a little vague. Usually it means that it is somehow going to be involved in additional payment. If I'm wrong about it please enlighten me...
