—Rogers extends discounted data plan: Rogers Communications is extending a limited-time offer for the iPhone in order to keep sales brisk, reports CBC. Canada’s largest carrier said it will extend the $30-a-month data plan, which lets iPhone users download up to six gigs a month, until the end of September. Previously, the offer came about when there was a lot of backlash to the initial pricing. Initially, the plan was going to expire on Aug. 31. A Rogers’ spokesperson said the plan is being extended so that buyers of the BlackBerry Bold, which was released last week, can take advantage of it. In October, Rogers will introduce a $25-a-month data plan for the iPhone and other smartphones that provides three free months of unlimited usage followed by 500 megabytes of downloading per month. Another plan will allow one gig for $30 a month.

—*AT&T* explains 3G glitches, sort of: A source close to AT&T (NYSE: T) explained why the software update was necessary for the iPhone 3G, what the problem was, and why the update didn’t immediately impact users equally, in a report released by RoughlyDrafted. The report is really technical, but the high-level summary is this: The iPhone 2.0.2 update “fixed power control on the mobile,” and that “it is not the network that is [at] fault but the interaction of the bad power control algorithm in 2.0 and 2.0.1 software and the network that is at fault.” What’s even more important is that the report says “The sooner everybody is running 2.0.2 software the better things will be. Having seen the graphs the 2.0.2 software has already started to make difference.”
