This woman just got the news that Starbucks is going to offer free Wi-Fi.Starbucks just announced they’re going to start offering free Wi-Fi in all American stores. Last we checked, the concept of offering free, on-premises Wi-Fi is one that Starbucks has been beaten to the punch on by such ultra high-tech businesses as the Blue Moon Tavern. If Starbucks wanted to start handing out free laptops to customers with the purchase of venti drinks, that’d be something. Not that free Wi-Fi isn’t technically something, it’s just kind of like Brother announcing that all the word processors they sold back in the ’90s can now be retrofitted to access the Internet.In other words, this maneuver, while welcome, will hardly earn Howard Schultz’s franchise a spot on Julien Perry’s top coffeehouses to loiter in list.
