Starbucks just doesn't get it. Providing free wifi will bring in customers. Customers will get thirsty and buy their overpriced sludge they call coffee.

If you use a Starbucks card at least once a month (which is nothing really), then they give you two hours of wifi access per day. Additionally, if you have a friend that has SBC DSL, or AT&T Uverse, you can simply use their login information for full access.

Starbucks should just make it free, period. Or hand out one hour passes with each drink purchased. I mean, come on. It's wifi not gold.

In México, the primary internet provider gives you 1 mbit DSL and free WiFI access to any of their hotspots for $299 pesos a month (about 30 dollars). Not only that, they have a roaming agreement with T-Mobile so you can use any of their hotspots for free. So basically, for $30, I have free WiFi access almost anywhere in the USA and México and I have a decent broadband line at home.

WiFi access is so cheap, I find it ridiculous that a company tries to charge you $30 a month just for access to those hotspots. The Mexican provider has the right idea when it comes to Internet access.

Who cares? They should just make it free for any AT&T customer. Good PR. Its at Starbucks not home (though I guess for some people Starbucks is home).
