AT and T announces that starting May 1st, AT&T customers will receive complimentary Wi-Fi access at more than 7,000 Starbucks in the U.S.

Throughout the year, AT&T and Starbucks said they will be working on switching over Starbucks locations to AT&T’s Wi-Fi service, from T-Mobile USA.

AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said “with the power of our Wi-Fi network, and through our partnership with Starbucks, we're strengthening our ability to meet the needs of today's mobile consumer virtually anywhere and everywhere.”

He added “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.”

AT&T also announced that service rollouts have begun in the San Antonio area.

For non-AT&T customers, Wi-Fi service will include a mix of free and paid connection options.
