How to Connect a Wireless Laptop at Starbucks
It seems that there is a Starbucks coffee shop on every corner, and it's a benefit for those people who need quick Internet access from a wireless cafe. Starbucks offers Wi-Fi connectivity, but it is not free unless you have an AT&T Wireless account. If you are an AT&T Wireless customer, then you can visit any Starbucks cafe for free wireless access. Otherwise, you need to purchase a Starbucks card, sign up and register an account before using the system.
