Free Wi-Fi: coming to Starbucks July 1

History is being made here, guys. Not just because you won’t need to already have an account or pay $6 to check your email while you’re sipping coffee at Starbucks, but also

In addition to the new free WiFi program, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz told Wired’s Chris Anderson that the company is also planning on rolling out a new Starbucks Digital Network in partnership with Yahoo later this fall. This network, which will only be accessible in U.S. company-operated stores, will offers customers free and unrestricted access to paid sites and services like WSJ.com and other content providers on their phones, tablets or laptops.

Exciting! Ok, maybe a lot more so for people w/out the smart phones, those who do not live in a big city where this is readily available on every corner anyway… and for those connected to the newspaper industry :)
