[wirelesstoronto-discuss] free wifi @ Starbucks

[Hanna]

interesting...SBUX (in the US, not sure about Canada) is set to offer free
wifi (2hrs) to its customers.

according to their new 'idea' blog <http://www.starbucks.com/blogs/>

> Back in February we announced that we're switching to AT&T as our Wi-Fi
> provider in our U.S. company-operated stores. As Brad Stevens mentioned in
> his post on March 24, we're thrilled to be rolling out two hours of
> complimentary Wi-Fi service for customers who have a registered Starbucks
> Card. It'll be simple to sign up. All you have to do is:
>
>    1. Register a Starbucks Card
>    2. Sign up for an AT&T Wi-Fi account (and limited ATT marketing)
>    3. Come to Starbucks and login
>
>  To keep your newly created Wi-Fi account "active" you'll need to make a
> purchase with your registered Starbucks Card or add additional funds to it
> within the prior 30 days of logging on. We feel that the complimentary two
> hours is a meaningful amount of time and a fantastic way to reward Starbucks
> Card holders.
>
> We have customers with a variety of needs—some want to come in and read,
> some want to chat with a friend and others want to use Wi-Fi. Starbucks
> means different things to different people and the two-hour limit helps
> balance the many needs of our customers so that everyone can enjoy spending
> time at Starbucks. This service will be available to all customers
> nationwide later this spring.
