Best Buy to Offer Monet's 3G Data Service

Best Buy will be the first national electronics retailer to offer Monet Broadband's CDMA2000 1xEV-DO wireless broadband service as a consumer offering. Best Buy will sell a Monet Broadband PC card modem for $29.95 after a $40.00 mail-in rebate. The 3G data service will have a flat rate of $19.95 per month for unlimited service in the first two months and $39.95 for subsequent months service. Download speeds are generally ten times faster than dial-up with multi-megabit peaks. Monet uses licensed spectrum in the PCS band (1.9 GHz). The company serves 5 markets in the upper Midwest.
