In a major shakeup in the Wi-Fi hotspot business, coffee giant Starbucks has picked AT&T to operate its network of more than 7,000 Wi-Fi hotspots, turning its back on a deal it’s had with T-Mobile (and, before that, MobilStar) since 2001. The deal turns AT&T in a mammoth Wi-Fi hot spot operator: the company already runs nearly 9,000 hotspots in McDonalds restaurants and other locations; the addition of Starbucks’ locations gives the network more than 15,000 hotspots.
