Verizon cutting EV-DO prices?

Verizon EV-DO card

Is Verizon Wireless getting ready to drop what it charges for accessing EV-DO on a laptop? Reuters is reporting that they're expected to announce a price cut from $80 to $60 a month in order to rope in as many new subscribers as possible before Sprint Nextel has a chance to go nationwide with its own high-speed EV-DO network. We're completely and utterly addicted to EV-DO now, but even sixty bucks a month is probably more than they should be charging if they really, really, really want to expand their subscriber base. Don't just try and edge out Sprint: if Verizon made the price competitive with DSL and cable they'd easily scoop up a fair number of people who'd rather have EV-DO everywhere than just broadband at home.
