Bloggingstocks.com is reporting that while AT&T initially started in markets like Atlanta to test out netbooks, they’ll soon be taking it to the whole nation.  When the idea first came out about carrier subsidized netbooks, people didn’t really believe that there was a market for it.  They were wrong.

Whether you’re a college student, or a traveler being able to access your information wherever you can get a wireless signal helps people do what they want to do and more and more people are willing to pay for that independence.  $59/month for only 5GB of service means that you won’t be watching Hulu videos but if you want to email, surf the web, and other functions this will fit perfectly.

Many people think AT&T is only banking on the iPhone to help make them money over the next few years but they’re leverage their network to enable more and more devices to access the web for a fee.  How long is it until all of our appliances and electronics are capable of being connected to the web like Amazon’s Kindle to access and update information?
