With AT&T already in the business of pairing netbooks with 3G data service, Verzion is looking to get into the business.

According to Bloomberg:

The Verizon netbooks will initially be sold in the company’s stores, and retail partners also may stock them, the person familiar with the situation said. AT&T, based in Dallas, sells netbooks from Acer Inc. and Dell Inc.

Customers would probably pay about $100 for the machines, with Verizon subsidizing the rest, or about two-thirds of the cost, King said. The analyst advises investors to buy Verizon Communications Inc. shares and doesn’t own any.

Verizon and AT&T are going back and forth in a tug of war and they’re using inexpensive computers to help add services to existing customers and add new customers.  As more people only have one computer in their home companies like Comcast and Time Warner may find themselves loosing internet subscribers.
