This is HUGE – Starbucks Switches to AT&T from T-Mobile for their Wifi service! I wonder if this means that all AT&T DSL customers get free access at Starbucks now? Wow!

Starbucks is shredding its deal in place since 2001, originally with MobileStar then T-Mobile, to switch to AT&T as their Wi-Fi provider. That moves 7,000 locations from T-Mobile’s ledgers of nearly 9,000 to AT&T’s. It turns AT&T from “McDonald’s plus,” with a relatively small footprint of other locations, to a 15,000-location giant. AT&T is also part of Boingo’s roaming network, which could mean (no news yet on this) that Boingo customers would suddenly add 7,000 highly desirable domestic roaming locations.

‘Klaus Bender, the author of Moneymakers: The Secret World of Banknote Printing, said the phony $100 bill is “not a fake anymore. It’s an illegal parallel print of a genuine note.” He claims that the supernotes are of such high quality and are updated so frequently that they could be produced only by a U.S. government agency such as the CIA.’
