Re: I don't think anything above $40 per month is...
You need to recognize the very slim margins that vendors are operating on for their sales. It's a cut-throat business that you can verify for yourself by pricing what you can buy at the same price the Dell is offering for laptops, or desktops, for that matter.
Any company that will pay a few dollars for access to a company's line of computers is welcome. For Dell, the Verizon EVDO access will cost the customer a few dollars at purchase, but might gain Dell more than a few dollars at the sale; with the thin margins, anything that has credence and brings in a few dollars is worth the effort for Dell. Who knows, Dell might make a few dollars more from the long-term use of Verizon EVDO than they make from a naked sale of the same equipment.
