That's where it gets complicated. The Hotspot@Home works with any Wi-Fi connection, as long as you're fully connected.
So obviously if you're trying to connect into your neighbors or a hotel's Wi-Fi, most likely it's going to be locked, you'd need the key to get in; no free calls for you.
Starbucks is siding with AT&T, but they stated they will allow T-Mobile Hotspot users free access. I don't know how that works with Hotspot@Home service though. Do you simply connect to their Wi-Fi network and wha-la! Or are you prompted for a key?

Is good T-Mobile drop the price, but didn't Starbucks and ATT just signed a deal?

"Starbucks is siding with AT&T, but they stated they will allow T-Mobile Hotspot users free access."
how likely is that to stay? Cuz since AT&T and T-Mo are competing, wouldn't be not very beneficial to AT&T?
