Telus announces lights out for analog network, not a dry eye in the house {Engadget Mobile}

Telus announces lights out for analog network, not a dry eye in the house {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 19th 2008 2:12AM The main reason behind "no analog" anymore is because Telus and SaskTel reached a deal on a roaming agreement in Saskatchewan. Sasktel is where all that orange is. Before they were roaming on the analog coverage. However it doesn't look like they're roaming on EV-DO.
MTS in Manitoba on the other hand has its head up its derriere, they won't allow Telus do the same kind of roaming that SaskTel is now allowing, and on the flipside, MTS customers are sometimes out of luck when roaming on Telus in Alberta/BC (ie data).
SaskTel and MTS are the only options for the rural folk in Sask/Manitoba since Rogers doesn't have many towers, and Telus doesn't provide local numbers (or didn't before). When I visit my parents farm, I can see an MTS tower right out the window and I live in an area with only 50 or so people, and I can't get a signal on Rogers if my life depended on it.
Rogers Wireless releases some iPhone data usage details, says nyaa-nyaa {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 1st 2008 8:46PM I was one of the 1.2% of iPhone users who went over 1GB, I had 3.4GB of combined usage for my first month, mainly because I did not have an internet connection. I was living out east and needed some sort of communication. I was able to use up that much data from just using Safari and a bit of usage in Tuner, maybe an hour a day or so. However my data is not even near that now that I do have internet again, plus I'm back in a 2G (not a 3G) town.
I didn't abuse it by tethering or anything, I used it from legal purposes that are supported by Apple in one way or another, plus I doubt my iBook couldn't handle tethering anyways
