HP is getting into the prepaid data game. The company just announced DataPass, a solution that lets you purchase 3G service from your laptop. The service is HP-branded, and that isn’t just marketing hype — the company bought excess spectrum from Sprint and is setting its own prices, effectively turning the PC maker into an MVNO. The no-contract plans start at $5, se bleow for full prcing details.
So far, the new service is limited to HP notebooks using Qualcomm’s Gobi un2400 universal modem. HP hasn’t said if DataPass will reach other models.
