Starbucks has partnered with AT&T to provide free wi-fi access. However, the two hours a day free wi-fi is only for customers who have a Starbucks gift card. It is like prepaying for your coffee but you get free internet too. The AT&T customers will enjoy unlimited access at these starbucks hotspots.

For those who do not want to use a starbucks card, the price is $4 for a two-hour session (T-Mobile charged $6 per hour or $10 per day). I wonder if AT&T will replace T-Mobile hotspots at the hundreds of airport across the country. One more step in the right direction (of making internet free).
