It sounds like a bit of a dodgy advertising technique, but I recently bought a Dell PC which had some of Google's tools already installed. I think google pays for this to happen.
It sounds like a very similar situation to me.
I suppose the difference is that you can remove the tools if you want, but you have to upgrade your service to remove the Rogers advertising.
