Apple Thoughts: Rogers in Canada Offering Tethering for iPhone Users

""Rogers today revealed that its free data tethering promo is becoming a permanent fixture of its plans," Electronista reports."

Anyone with a Canadian 1GB or larger data plan has the option of using the iPhone or other smartphone as a 3G connector without having to pay a separate fee. The data is taken out of the monthly transfer allowance. There are some limits, however, such as not being able to use it with US data roaming plans or the shared plans for family and 3G modems. This puts Rogers in line with Bell and Telus. Wonder if this will put a fire under AT&T to do the same since it has been over a year since they promised "coming soon" hasn't it? Somehow I doubt it, what are your thoughts?
