Bell to launch $30 6 GB smartphone data plan with tethering & iPad sharing

Bell Canada to launch $30 6 GB smartphone data plan with tethering and iPad sharing option « Boy Genius Report:

“According to a Bell memo, the wireless carrier plans to offer a 6 GB data plan for $30 per month that will provide smartphone users with ‘unlimited Wi-Fi @ Starbucks’ as well as tethering. Bell will also allow you to ‘share’ your 6 GB data bucket with your iPad for an additional $10 (as long as they are on the same billing account). “

This is in fact pretty good news, 6GB is better than what is currently being offered (5GB)but tethering your Lappie to an iPhone will in fact use up quite a bit of those GB, the Starbucks portion of the deal is kind of weird because Starbucks is supposed to be giving out free WiFi to everyone, not just Bell users. But upon closer inspection you soon realize that as usual we are being Canucked and Shafted and the Liberty Beans sold their northern soul to the Liberty Bell.
