I saw some info about this. I wonder if I will have my new PB tomorrow to take advantage! There is a Starbucks right down the street from me. Of course, who can't claim that??

Do you get access if you make a purchase? Or do you have to pay for access on top of your corp. coffee?

It looks like, from the t-mobile site, that you have to have an account to connect or pay per hour.

I know it is free tomorrow, I was refering to regular days. I guess I am a little confused.
