Starbucks Switches from T-Mobile to AT&T for Hotspots

Since 2001, T-Mobile has been the hotspot provider for Starbucks. Not anymore. Starbucks has dropped T-Mobile, in favor of AT&T as their wi-fi provider. The details are as follows:
  • If you have a Starbucks card, you get 2 free wi-fi hours.
  • AT&T lowered the price to $4 a day for two hours of access, compared with T-Mobiles $6-10 per hour charge.
  • T-Mobile will be a roaming partner onto the AT&T network through a side deal; hotspot subscribers will still be able to access the hotspots.
