Expert states that Rogers LTE Data Plan pricing is in line.

·        Rogers Communications Inc. has launched Canada's fastest cellular network in the nation's capital, giving Ottawa residents first crack at a wireless Internet network that rivals wired high-speed connections.

·        To show off the service's capabilities, officials used LTE connections to perform such data-heavy tasks as video conferencing, streaming high-definition video to a big-screen TV, showing ondemand movies and playing head-to-head video games over the Internet.

·        Monthly LTE packages will start at $45 for 1.5 GB of downloaded data and range up to $90 for nine GBs. Every gigabyte after that will cost an extra $10.

·        Lawrence Surtees, lead analyst covering the Canadian telecom sector for IDC Canada, a market intelligence firm, said the pricing is in line with what a consumer would expect to pay to access a premium service, but the data caps seem light. HD video can chew through a gigabyte in less than hour.
