AT&T and Starbucks launch Wi-Fi services in stores

AT&T and Starbucks have announced that they have now started providing Wi-Fi services powered by AT&T technology at their company-operated Starbucks stores.

This expansion would continue through the rest of the year.

The two companies have begun by providing the service in Starbucks stores in San Antonio.

AT&T said that beginning next month, qualifying AT&T high-speed Internet and Wi-Fi customers would get free service at more than 7,000 Starbucks locations nationwide.

AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson added in a statement: “Expanding our reach across company-operated Starbucks locations nationwide helps us bridge the gap between our wired and wireless offerings and affirms AT&T’s commitment to connect people with their worlds, everywhere they live and work.”
