NEW YORK--Love to browse the Internet while sipping coffee at your favorite Starbucks? Well, we don’t blame you if you feel Christmas came early this year: Starbucks has teamed up with Google to provide much faster WiFi Internet services to its customers at its stores around the United States.
Starbucks had already been providing free WiFi since 2008. A tie-up with AT&T has allowed its customers to browse the Internet at its trademark coffee stores, but the AT&T contract is believed to have expired, paving way for Google to offer better bid terms and secure the deal for providing the Internet service.
