While we are yet to see an official announcement from AT&T, or any of the available locations there are reports of iPhone users being allowed free Wi-Fi access at a variety of locations. As you can most likely guess, thanks to all the recent switch over news that Starbucks is included in this offering, but there has also been some success reported at Barnes and Noble. With AT&T’s whopping 71,000 available locations that include many airports and McDonalds locations as well as the previously mentioned Starbucks and Barnes and Noble this should be welcome news to just about every iPhone user.
The first logon will present you with a special login window that prompts you for your telephone number, and of course asks you to agree to the terms. While we would never suggest that anyone break the terms, however there has also been a mention that this can be faked to gain access on laptops.
I think I may have to take a trip over to my local Starbucks today, to give this a testing. All in the name of tech though, not like I need any extra excuse to grab another Latte.
