The headline is mislead and this was done purposefully.  Carrier subsidized netbooks, is an interesting idea to get behind.  It’s also a lot easier to get see it taking place when you hear about carriers in other countries already doing it.

In India, you’re able to get a netbook for free.  The catch is that you have to keep service for 2 years, but at $30 a month I’d sign up for this in a heart beat if it were brought to the states.
