“Verizon spokesman Jeff Nelson told me the company has been considering tiered pricing for upcoming tablet devices that will use the company’s network, though Nelson wouldn’t specifically name Apple’s tablet,” Morris reports. “The data plans are said to be structured similarly to those each company currently offers for netbooks and laptops. But we’re unlikely to hear about pricing at Apple’s event next week.”
