Starbucks Drops T-Mobile For AT&T

Posted by kdawson on Monday February 11, 2008 @04:28PM from the too-little-too-latte dept.

stoolpigeon writes "Ars reports that Starbucks is replacing T-Mobile with AT&T as their Wi-Fi provider. AT&T broadband customers will be able to access the service for free. Starbucks card users will get 2 hours a day free. 2-hour, daily, and monthly rates will be lower than they were with T-Mobile. Starbucks says that their previously announced deal to tie in with iTunes will continue under AT&T. For now AT&T isn't offering free Wi-Fi to iPhone users, but says it expects to accommodate them soon. Quoting the article: 'The companies didn't specify exactly when the rollout would begin, only saying that it would take place this spring... [The company plans] to install all new equipment at Starbucks as part of this agreement, so the changeover won't be as simple as flipping a switch.'"

Starbucks coffee is indeed consistant. It's consistantly a huge jug of muddy piss, which contains next to no actual coffee.

Really, what is it with the Americans and their "quantity is better then quality" attitude to anything you can consume?
