The news that AT&T has opened up it’s wi-fi hotspots to their US iPhone customers for free around the country has been buzzing around today. And this is not the first time either.
AT&T has annonuced this, taken back before. It started again this morning when someone spotted a page on AT&T’s website announcing this. But, later in the day after this news made the rounds a AT&T spokesperson has denied that they have nothing to announce yet and have pulled the incriminating page since.
Free Wi-FI for AT&T DSL Customers
We have had free Wi-Fi from AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots around the country for being their DSL customers. And this deal has been around for a long time.
So, I am assuming we would have access to their Wi-Fi hotspots via our iPhone too. This is not too shabby considering AT&T offers some nice DSL rates with no home phone & no contract required. Yep, it’s gotta sexy name too – Naked DSL!
You could get a 1.5 Mbps DSL connection for $35/month with no contract.
The page that was leaked this morning is an indication that AT&T is planning to offer this to their iPhone customers as well in the near future.
But, with the expanding 3G network and free wi-fi at coffee shops and Panera Bread and other joints everywhere, this is probably not such a big deal as it is made out to be.
What do you think about this?
