Coming Soon: Free Wireless at Starbucks

Via Kottke, much goodness on the way at Starbucks:


Beginning this spring, Starbucks Card holders can enjoy up to two hours of free Wi-Fi service per day at Starbucks locations offering Wi-Fi access, while more than 12 million qualifying AT&T broadband and AT&T U-verseSM Internet customers will have unlimited free access to the Wi-Fi service. In addition, more than 5 million of AT&T's remote access services business customers will be able to access Wi-Fi service at Starbucks locations. AT&T will soon extend the benefits of Wi-Fi at Starbucks to its wireless customers.

I'm not sure if the definition of "Starbucks Card Holder" means anyone who uses one of their reloadable cards to purchase coffee, but it doesn't really matter much. It'll be nice to be able to leverage some free wireless at the corner coffee shop now, since I've actually made it a point over the years to look elsewhere to bring my laptop. Not that I need to be connected every where I go. It's just nice, that's all.
