Netbooks Below Cost - With a Catch!

As previously suspected, there are rumblings that netbooks are going to be offered soon at less than cost under a program similar to how cell phones are subsidized.

Slashdot posted today how HP and AT&T may be talking about offering a netbook for less than cost with a two-year wireless contract. This model follows the cell phone model, though first shown via the Gillette company with razor blades (offering the razor at below cost, but making strong profit off the disposable blades).

As the wireless world becomes more and more stable and fast, the use of netbooks by the mass public will become more and more ubiquitous.
