Sprint Monthly Data w/GoodLink: $40/month
Sprint Monthly Data w/BB: $49.95/month

Again, published pricing only, no promotions taken into consideration.
That sounds about right, however there is a yearly license fee for GoodLink I believe, with BES, you do not have the yearly fee to continue running the software.

I will know for sure shortly, I have an email in to GL sales and we will see what their response is. If it's what I think it is, then the initial cost for GL is less, but the TCO for 5 years is much higher for GL than it is for BES.

I will confirm later.
