AT&T Broadband Subscribers Get Free Wi-Fi Hotspot Access, Not iPhone Users

By Glenn Fleishman

AT&T continues to baffle me: The firm dropped the $1.99 per month charge for access to about 10,000 hotspots, mostly McDonald’s, that they charged their broadband users for the highest speed DSL subscriptions. That saves people a whopping roughly $24 per year. But despite the fact that the iPhone is mentioned in this brief article, there’s still obviously no mental connection inside the company between the AT&T Consumer division (which made this announcement) and the wireless arm that’s handling the iPhone. So much for integration.

They are just now finally getting the Cingular branding changed back to AT&T. I suspect it will be a while before the two divisions actually talk to each other.
