mass have been thinking long and hard for well over a month now whether they ’ll buy the Wi - Fi version which is available this month , or await for next calendar month ’s 3 G role model . Which is why AT&T read they ’re not making you get a 3 G contract .
Chief executive Randall Stephenson pronounce at an investor group discussion yesterday that the iPad will mostly be a “ Wi - Fi driven product . And that is why you see the pricing of the model to be one that is prepaid in nature . ” Of naturally , that ’s AT&T ’s explanation of why they ’re not forcing you into a two - year contract for 3 deoxyguanosine monophosphate data . The actual reason could be right smart dissimilar . Like perhaps Apple told them it would be this way , and no other way .
Stephenson : When you think of the iPad and how that correlate with pricing , the iPad — it is go to be interesting to see the client reaction to the iPad . Our expectation is that it is — there ’s not go to be a lot of people out there looking for one more subscription revenue stream to put on our connection , as a result of an iPad . We think it is going to be a largely Wi - Fi driven product . And that is why you see the pricing of the example to be one that is prepaid in nature .

We are going to be nervous to see what the customer reply to this is and how customer apply it . How much Wi - Fi versus all-embracing region mesh , and what will have to encounter with prices over time , I do n’t know . It is going to be an interesting one to watch . We believe it will be chiefly a Wi - Fi push production .
