It's coming soon, probably this year still.

Rogers is sharing with MTS Mobility in Manitoba (Rogers is already GSM/HSUPA while MTS is CDMA/EvDO & CDMA/1x). Rogers will help MTS deploy 3G GSM in areas where Rogers currently has no coverage, and both providers' customers will be able to use the service. Good deal for all, methinks.

The only outlier is here in Saskatchewan where SaskTel Mobility's HDPA network is seriously delayed, perhaps as much as a year. That means that unless Bell and Telus get a roaming agreement with Rogers, GSM/HSPA customers of both networks will have no service coverage here at all until late next year or early 2011.


CA: SaskTel, Wind postpaid; Rogers, Bell postpaid iPad flex plans; US: T-Mobile postpaid data, prepaid voice; PureTalk (AT&T MVNO) prepaid voice/data; AT&T prepaid iPad plan

Hardware: Too much but notably iPhone 5, iPad Mini Retina LTE, Moto G LTE (N.A. version), iPhone 4. All unlocked.
