The biggest change - Starbucks said Monday it will give customers that use its Starbucks purchase card two hours of free wireless access per day. After that, it's $3.99 for two hour increments. There are $19.99 monthly plans available too and those plans include access to AT&amp;amp;T's 70,000 hotspot network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like you have to make a purchase using the card to get the Free Wi-Fi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stories I read were unclear about access for Starbucks customers who don't use a purchase card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rollout starts this Spring in the 7000 company owned stores and should be completed by year's end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AT&amp;amp;T also is giving Starbucks' more than 100,000 U.S. employees free wireless accounts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5075845-6478610405991060931?l=www.wififreenet.com%2Fweblog%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5075845/posts/default/6478610405991060931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5075845/posts/default/6478610405991060931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.wififreenet.com/weblog/2008_02_01_archive.html#6478610405991060931' title='It&apos;s about time'/><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16382148625026063695</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='18360095971447162751'/></author></entry>
