Admittedly I very rarely “hang out” at Starbucks when my study buddy is my computer. Mostly this is because of the outrageous prices for internet access. But according to the Associated Press this is about to change. It never made sense to me, despite the fact that I love Starbucks Coffee and Tea and even work there, to pay for my internet connection. There are a bazillion little coffee shops in every neighborhood willing and able to offer you free access in exchange for your business. It always seemed greedy to me of Starbucks to make you pay $10 an hour (or something close) for access. Granted this did, in my mind, cause a distinct and marked difference between quaint neighborhood café’s, and the Starbuck weed (I say that with the utmost affection). But Starbuck finally seems to be catching on. As of this spring the switch will be made from T-Mobile to AT&T who will be offering a mixture of two hours free internet access with the use of a Starbucks card followed by a $3.99 charge per hour after that. AT&T customers will get automatic access. So I guess now I will have no reason to leave work.
