Ladies and Gentlemen, with T-Mobile touting its original 8500 HotSpots nationwide, this take over of ALL Starbucks HotSpots (over 7000) brings T-Mobile OWNED or OPERATED HotSpots to only 1500 give or take. Looks like ATT definitely is a monopoly on many connected items of communication.
Unfortunately this is a HUGE downfall for T-Mobile as many customers will not only leave thinking they no longer get HotSpot at Starbucks, but also see that AT&T is a bigger more concise company to offer connections literally, ANYWHERE. T-Mobile is now losing MILLIONS per year on this deal. I wouldnt be surprised if T-Mobile (after their dreaded 3G spectrum fiasco) starts selling its company piece by piece to the highest bidder in the next 3 years.
Get ready to see a MAJOR downfall from T-Mobile. This is JUST the start.
First of all, T-Mobile Data costumers still have access to the hotspots, and only at&t dsl customers can use the wi-fi, not wireless. At&t wireless customers still have to cough up $20 extra in addition to any data plan they are paying for to use these hotspots on a monthly basis. T-Mobile 3G is coming out this summer and if you have been paying any attention at all you would see that T-Mobile has been growing rapidly, you would have to be retarded to think that Deutsche Telekom would sell T-Mobile USA which is becoming they're #1 source of revenue; and especially since DT is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, with nearly 120 million customers worldwide, a lot larger than at&t which is only based in the US.
