In my personal experience, the folks at Starbucks had no clue about the service. I tried it out at several locations where most customers wouldn't know about the 11b services (these weren't your garden variety laptop joints). The Starbucks folks would look at the menu and say "We don't serve that". :-) Sameer -- Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Asst.
