Verizon broadband data goes prepaid

Heavy users are still going to need the 5GB monthly postpaid option (and really, let’s be honest, a lot of us need well more than 5GB), but the occasional “crap, I really have to grab that spreadsheet off the intranet” moment might be well-served by Verizon’s new prepaid data option announced today. “Occasional” really is the key word here, because it’s not cheap — $15 per day for 75MB, $30 per week for 250MB, or $50 per month for 500MB — but hey, we guess we’ve gotta get Big Red used to the idea of offering a la carte data for a while before it becomes affordable to the masses. In the meantime, it’ll be offered bundled with a USB760 modem (pictured) in Verizon and Best Buy locations starting on November 16.
