Select Starbucks locations get "wired" for wireless Internet access.
Those looking to surf while waiting for or drinking their coffee may be able to do so
at a near by Starbucks. The coffee boutique announced 1200 stores will offer wireless
Internet access, with up to 2000 by the end of the year.
The wireless access is provided by T-Mobile as a 802.11b WiFi network. Apple''s
AirPort technology is compatible with WiFi networks. AirPort-equipped Macs are able to
go wireless with the installation of a $99 Apple AirPort card. Other computers can
upgrade using similar third-party options available.
T-Mobile is charging a fee for the service. The service is available through unlimited
monthly access, pre-paid access and metered access. Monthly rates are available at $30
for specific markets and and $50 national service. The service is to be able for a
24-hour trial for first time users. The T-Mobile service is also available at
locations beyond Starbucks such as airports and shopping areas.
For more information, please visit Starbucks.
