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 …
