I do hope something comes of the PRIMUS wimax tests. There have been whispers in the news that devices are going to have combination LTE/Wimax chips, and Wimax seems like a tech far more open to competition (I could be very wrong about this).

Sadly, that $30 for 1GB deal from rogers actually ends up being something more like $72 after all of the charges are added in. In anticipation of an N810, I stopped in a rogers store and had a sales rep run down the options for tethering a device to a phone which is where this number comes from. It assumes that you get rogers lowest plan, and purchase the phone yourself.

The price is lower for the USB dongle data-plan, but I'm not sure if you're tied to using the dongle for this service or if you can activate your own device. Knowing rogers, something tells me that the customer is restricted to the dongle, which would make this less than ideal for an HSPA enabled tablet. Of course, my intuition could be wrong.

Either way, it's still extremely expensive, which is why I'd love to see widespread wimax from added service providers. More competition means saner prices.



YARR!
