at&t wifi at starbucks
Well, I can’t really say I predicted this (since I didn’t). Really I’ve just been wondering for a while when something like this would happen. AT&T DSL customers will be able to access wifi hot spots at 7000 Starbuck’s locations around the country (starting in San Antonio apparently). Free wifi has been one of the selling points of smaller independent coffee shops for a while and I figured it would only be a matter of time before places like Starbuck’s, Tulley’s and Peet’s do the same. I don’t see this as being much of a threat to indie coffee shops though since most people who go to them would slice off their left hand before ordering a venti of anything.
