T-Mobile leaving Starbucks — to be replaced by AT&T
Posted by rabilancia on 02/11/08 in At&t, T-Mobile, Wifi / Bluetooth
This morning, Starbucks issued a press release that they will be offering free WiFi via AT&T. Details can be found here: http://www.starbucks.com/aboutus/pressdesc.asp?id=827
No news about this on the T-Mobile website yet.
What does this mean for T-Mobile? Does it really matter when their 3G gets complete? What about their Internet plan service rates? I guess that we’ll just have to wait and see.
































Calling it “free” is a bit misleading. It’s free if you’re an AT&T customer, and it’s free for two hours a day if you have a Starbucks Card. To get unlimited access if you’re not an AT&T customer, you’ll pay $19.99 a month, which is cheaper than the T-Mobile unlimited plan, but not free.
Thanks for correcting me.
