Exciting news for coffee and internet addicts like me:

Starbucks has decided to ditch T-Mobile for AT&T and offer two free hours of usage a day (an extra two hours costs $3.99). Brilliant move for a few reasons:

* I always believed that it was in Starbucks benefit to keep customers in the store
* This should increase sales of high priced, high margin foods (in addition to their coffees)
* An AT&T deal makes a lot more sense considering Starbuck’s ties with Apple and iTunes
* The T-Mobile internet service package is lousy (slow, logs you out, never remember passwords, etc)

Now I just need Starbucks to offer those free-refills in cities outside of Seattle…
