"Verizon Wireless today said it plans to cut prices for its EV-DO laptop
data service, BroadbandAccess, by 25 percent from $79.99 per month to $59.99
per month. Spokespeople said the price cut was something the carrier had
been planning for months and was not prompted by competition. Rival Sprint
recently launched a competing EV-DO wireless data service for laptops. In
addition to the price cut, Verizon Wireless expanded its network to a number
of new markets, including Sacramento and San Francisco, California; Denver;
Louisville, Kentucky; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Charlotte and
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.

Some industry insiders see Verizon's price cut as the possible start of a
wireless broadband price war. It is not clear yet if any of Verizon
Wireless' rivals, especially Cingular Wireless or Sprint, will cut the price
of their wide area laptop data offerings."
