Yes, it may be slower but people don't like having to swap things around all the time, at least I don't.

But, though I dont own an iPhone, I think it is pretty cool that iPhone users can get free internet on such HotSpots. -Ruben I think this was also done since AT&T bought T-Mobile’s hotspots, if I read right.

It will be interesting to see what unfolds. I’m sure they may have caught on to people abusing the system… or they have something new up their sleeve for the new version of the iphone coming shortly.

I bring my MacBook with me everywhere. One time we were at Chick-Fil-A and there was a Chick-Fil-A WiFi, and it was real. :D So I opened mIRC and Ustream and streamed! While I was eating! Isn't that cool? A couple days ago we went to Panera and they had wifi, the name of the network was PANERA which was again, real. So I connected, got on IRC, and I did not stream because I did not have my MacBook. But there is WiFi everywhere. I do not broadcast my SSID, but its unprotected, so anyone who knows where I live, and my Wireless's name, can get in.

But i have to be honest with you, i don't own an Iphone, i do like it tough the design and all those features(tough they should have a digital camera attached to it) but i don't like how apple came into market with it, because it's not very open and apple only allows just a hand full of GSM providers to use it and make daily calls .S.

But then a IPod Touch were also enough fro me.

I would like to see this for iPod Touch users too. Only the iPhone users are getting all these good deals.It doesn't surprise me that AT&T stopped offering this service. A lot of people must have abused it. I read some blogs where people found out how to access free WiFi without being an AT&T customer. This may be the reason why they don't offer WiFi anymore.

I hope they eventually bring ti back, that way it will give those wanting an iphone another incentive to buy one. That’s too bad that AT&T decided to take down this feature for the time being.

This definitely beats the $20 service fee that was previously required. Hopefully this would work with my iPod Touch, but I doubt it, considering how I do not pay AT&T a monthly fee for their services.However, my advise to everyone that connects to a public access point is to not NOT log-in to any websites. An individual could easily intercept your usernames and passwords when connected to a public access point. Just a word of warning. I hope AT&T decides re-enables this feature.

It's great when it seems as if companies take a turn to reality and begin to think realistically. When it comes to wireless internet capabilities, convenience and reliability means a lot...especially when it comes free. That’s awesome.

When the completely free wifi releases, partners that work for starbucks will even get free access on their laptops! Expect starbucks employees to be a lot more lazy now!

I have been a bit upset with iPhone and AT&T about the the whole locked phone concept and only AT&T can be used, but now with this new little feature I am interested in purchasing one. I have always loved the look of the iPhone and I travel alot so this neat feature will save me lots of money rather than paying the $20 to surf the net in the airport as I wait for hours between connecting flights. Thanks for the info Tracker, I was not aware of the DSL connection of above 1.5mb with AT&T and its benefits, may look into that. It’s about time AT&T did something that has sparked my interest.
