AT&T afraid of iPhone 3G users: offers free WiFi

Having no bandwidth cap for iPhone users has proved to be a problem for AT&T, which has been faced with  loads of expenses in keeping up their 3G network. In a smart move, AT&T has brought back to life its old partnership with Starbucks cafes across the country, allowing any member of the cellular network company to access the cafe’s WiFi network for free. I’m not sure how much help this is going to be for AT&T, or even how many people play around with iPhone internet at Starbucks, but at least this is a great and welcoming feature for AT&T costumers.

In an SMS message sent to iPhone users:

“AT&T knows Wi-Fi is hot, and FREE Wi-Fi is even hotter. Which is why FREE AT&T Wi-Fi access is now available for Apple iPhone at thousands of hotspots nationwide, including Starbucks*. Users can relax and access music, email and web browsing services with their favorite blend in hand from the comfort of their nearest location. For information visit www.att.com/attwifi.”
