AT&T Is Offering Free iPhone Wi-Fi… Is Not… Is Too… Isn’t… Is…
May 08, 2008
Last week, free Wi-Fi for iPhone users (and for laptop-wielding hackers) appeared at AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide – then disappeared soon after, presumably in response to the hacking activity.
Now it's back – and it's official.
"AT&T's website officially states that all iPhone rate plans now include 'access to AT&T's more than 17,000 Wi-Fi hotspots' across the US," reports Ars Technica's Chris Foresman.
UPDATE: …and now it's gone again. The AT&T site no longer shows the 'access to Wi-Fi' mention among iPhone plans. Looks like some kinda raging internal debate is going on at T about how to handle this…
