AT&T, Starbucks begin nationwide Wi-Fi rolloutBy Sindre Lia, Friday 25 April 2008
Free as well as paid Wi-Fi access will be provided to laptop users in more than 7000 Starbucks stores starting in May.

AT&T and Starbucks today 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. As of May 1, qualifying AT&T high speed Internet and Wi-Fi customers will have Wi-Fi access at more than 7000 Starbucks locations nationwide.

At the 2008 AT&T Annual Meeting of Stockholders in San Antonio, chairman and chief executive officer Randall Stephenson announced that the companies have already started the deployment of AT&T Wi-Fi service at Starbucks locations in San Antonio.

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.

For other customers, AT&T Wi-Fi service will reach company-operated Starbucks locations on a market-by-market basis throughout the year. The experience will include a mix of free and paid connection options for both frequent and occasional Wi-Fi users and qualifying Starbucks customers.
