I use to frequent Starbucks, it was a good place to embed and write on my days off. That was until I borrowed a laptop and discovered they charged for Wi-Fi. From then on I moved to a local coffee chain that has always provided free Internet.
Starbucks has now formed a partnership with AT&T and have concocted a strenuous scheme to keep customers in it's store by offering half-and-half WI-FI. Under the new partnership customers will purchase a Starbucks gift card with at least a $5 credit. To keep the card active you will half to use the card at least once a month. For all of this hassle you get two free hours of WI-FI service. That's right two whole hours!
Somehow that is a better deal for Starbucks than the three drinks I would buy camping out for the whole day doing my writing. How much longer before the Starbuck's McDonalds merger?
