"How is this a rip off?"

I agree with your example about folks who need a hardware / connection plan, but charging the end user $500 for each gig over the five gig limit strikes me as redefining the word "rip-off". As I see it, either they're losing $420 a month with each customer or they're overcharging "abusers".
You are right, and probably a good discussion for another topic. This is about subsidized netbooks, not necessarily the connection plan itself. But I do agree that the overage charges are criminal.

They're going push their data plans, and have been, with or with out the netbook involved.
