Rogers' "Wave" service is described on 
http://www.rogerswave.ca/wave/release1.htm. Check it out.

It is to be available today, I believe, as a commercial service in 
Newmarket, with rollout to Rogers' whole territory within the next year. 
According to Toronto Star telecom reporter Bob Brehl, Shaw and Videotron 
will also be offering "Wave". Bob did a story on the Newmarket trial in 
the Star a couple of days ago -- he saw it demoed, interviewed pilot 
users. He seemed impressed.

And yes, $39.95 a month is the price cited.
