ATT is replacing TMobile as the Star Bucks WiFi partner.
(I finally got around to activating my OLPC TMobile account, and haven't even tried using it yet...)
But it sounds like rates will be much lower (free for 2hrs/day if you have a Starbucks card).
TMobile notes T-Mobile HotSpot customers can continue to enjoy Wi-Fi access at Starbucks locations for at least the next five years under an agreement between T-Mobile USA and [AT]&T. There will be no additional charge for T-Mobile HotSpot customers at Starbucks locations.
Joel West connects the spread of Free Wifi to Earth Link's desire to exit the Municipal Wifi business.
Jun02'2008 update: TMobile is suing Star Bucks over the transition process.
Jun11'2008 update: they've resolved things.
