He seems big on the "no monthly contracts" thing. But an increasing number of netbooks are being sold with data plans, and there's no reason to think this trend won't continue. Consumers prefer the monthly fees and subsidized purchase price to the lump sum buy-it-all-at-once price, even though it ends up costing them more. The idea that you can buy a semi-useful service and get an essentially free netbook is a very psychologically (if not economically) appealing notion, and one that I am sure companies will increasingly exploit.
