Social.fm Coming to Canada?

Written by olafdunn on Mar 10th, 2008 | Filed under: Mobile Music

Reading a report at WirelessWeek, Social.fm have teamed up with Handmark, and will be rolling out operations in Canada.

Initially this sounded great, but then I realised that Social.fm required a Java app on your device. The biggest issue with this, is that Rogers’ new “Unlimited” data plan does not cover third party application data usage from, as quoted in their T&Cs, “Google Maps, and Yahoo! Go”.

Streaming music to my phone at CD quality no longer sounds so great when its going to cost me 5cents/kb!

Come on Rogers, sort it out, and stop limiting your customers to explore new applications on their mobile.
