Slow Clap: AT&T Wireless Stops Selling Tablets With Subsidized Pricing

AT&T Wireless no longer sells tablets with a long-term contact. This is great news and comes by way of a memo leaked to Engadget Mobile. That means the upfront cost of tablets is slightly higher, but the consumer wins in the long run by not being locked into a tablet for a couple of years. This comes several weeks after Verizon stopped selling tablets with subsidies as well. In the past both AT&T and Verizon offered tablets at their full MSRP along with lower priced options that locked the buyer into a 2-year contract. Now, the tablets are only available at their full price.
