Rogers may hope to preempt its rival Canadian carriers with a unique dynamic data plan created just for tablets. A new scoop said the Flex Rate plan would, like the voice plans, automatically bump up users depending on the amount of data they use. The Mobile Syrup details would have it start at $22 per month for the first 500MB of data but would kick up to $37 when running over, topping out at 5GB.
The prices would carry a slight premium over existing Rogers plans but would potentially be cheaper for those who use more than 250MB but only sometimes more than 500MB. Current plans start at $15 for the 250MB of data and move to $35 for 5GB. Unlike the existing prepaid plans, these would be recurring but wouldn't need a contract.
Rogers hasn't confirmed the plans, but if accurate they would take effect on Thursday.
The plan might give Rogers an edge in the market for those who want ongoing 3G on the iPad, Galaxy Tab or future slates. Bell's rates are mostly identical to the existing Rogers plans but don't have a flexible alternative. Telus would be the most hurt as it has just one $20, 500MB plan and instead uses a $30 overage cap with up to 5GB of use.
