AT&T & Starbucks

AT&T Inc. and Starbucks announced the beginning of the rollout of AT&T Wi-Fi service at company-operated Starbucks stores, kicking off a nationwide effort that will continue through 2008. The companies have already started the deployment of AT&T Wi-Fi service at Starbucks locations in San Antonio, making it the first market to deliver the complete AT&T Wi-Fi experience in the U.S.
Also, as of May 1, qualifying AT&T high speed Internet and Wi-Fi customers will have complimentary Wi-Fi access at more than 7,000 Starbucks locations nationwide. For millions of AT&T customers, that means more speed in more places — and for free — is on its way.
And as of May 1, qualifying AT&T customers can connect to the Internet from Wi-Fi enabled company-operated Starbucks locations nationwide by simply selecting “ATTWiFi” after powering up their computers. Free AT&T Wi-Fi service is currently offered with AT&T’s three higher-speed residential broadband packages, all small business broadband packages and with all AT&T U-verse offerings with high speed Internet service.




















I think it is rolling out faster than that press release. I have been able to login using my att.net (DSL) account name in CA for the last few weeks. I just logged in earlier today in Sunnyvale, CA using the attwifi access point. Also, in Menlo Park, CA I was able to log into the tmobile wifi spot and in the corner of the T-mobile start page there was a small section that said ATT subcribers click here. Once I clicked on that section I was able to login using my ATT account and surf for free because I have ATT DSL.
Very difficult to log on. Does not seem to recognize my account. Need to review account.
