Why would ATT charge any more for 3g netbooks?

I found this example: http://www.radioshack.com/uc/index.jsp?page=researchLibraryArticle&articleUrl=../graphics/uc/rsk/USContent/HTML/pages/acernetbk.html&noBc=true companies in Japan etc. have been offering netbooks for $40 to $50 with services for some time now. I look forward to more price drops and linux compatible air cards. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
