Rogers announcing new data plans, peace of mind in October {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 29th 2008 4:20PM Too little too late as far as I am concerned. Bell and Telus have a pile of nice phones with data plans that are all unlimited and the monthly fee is from $7 to $30 depending on the device.

With this and a hydrogen storage system, you end up with what is effectively a very big rechargeable battery. From there, you can use the gas in whatever way is most efficient, be that making electricity or burning the gas to make heat.
The only part of the whole system they propose that is a real problem is the cost of the fuel cell.
