$99 netbook offered
The $99 laptop is slowly but surely coming true.
Acer and Radioshack recently unveiled a netbook whose price is subsidized by AT&T, the 3G provider.
The Acer Aspire One, which is more than $200 usually, has been priced at just $99 for customers who sign on for a two-year contract with AT&T, who will provide the integrated wireless data connection. The wireless data plan begins at $60 a month, this is a total of $1440 for the duration of the contract.
The new offering is available in over 4400 Radioshack operated stores and will last until December 24.
Subsidizing netbooks is not really a new thing outside the US. This is the first of its kind policy within the country and it looks like this is the start of a trend that will continue for the next few years.
