21 August 2002 -- "T-Mobile has relaunched the network of hotspots it acquired from MobiStar in Starbucks coffee shops throughout the US and in London and Berlin. Subscribers to the T-Mobile Hotspot network will be able to visit Starbuck's outlets and access high speed internet services from an 802.11b-enabled notebook or PDA. T-Mobile is working with Hewlett Packard as the equipment partner, offering special pricing on a range of 802.11b modem cards and devices. Hotspots are available in 1200 locations throughout the US, with a further 800 planned by the end of the year. Pilot schemes in London and Berlin are being expanded throughout Europe. Established telecom operators have been looking to offer 802.11b as a value-added service, with mobile operators examining ways in which to integrate the hotspots with wide area packet-data technologies such as GPRS."
