German wireless carrier T-Mobile offers the Acer one netbook with 3G for €1 or about $2!
Frankly, the rip-off has to stop. Especially in these recessionary times.
Earlier, I noted that carriers in Europe were heavily subsidizing the iPhone; some simply giving away for free Apple’s smartphone; while in the U.S. AT&T still charges a minimum of $199 for the 8GB model.
Radioshack's Acer one 3G offer at $100!
The steep disparity between U.S. and European wireless prices manifests again with this “first ever” subsidized Netbook offer by Radio Shack. Over this weekend, the U.S. retailer is selling an Acer Aspire One netbook for $99 with an AT&T AirCard 3G data plan of $60/month.
Sounds like a good deal right? Not so, if you know that T-Mobile of Germany is charging €1 or about $2 for the same deal!
In both cases, it appears that AT&T is not willing to subsidize as much as its European counterparts.
Some say the U.S. carrier is overcharging, which unfortunately will not be the first nor the last time. But no matter how you call it, this must stop. Now. Please.
