Author T-Mobile: 450,000 people paid for Wi-Fi

MSNBC.com carried an item on T-Mobile wi-fi this morning:

I wonder how they compare with other wireless Internet service providers
(wi-fi as well as 1xRTT and EV-DO) like Verizon or AT&T-Cingular.

As much as i hate coffee, there is usually a starbucks anywhere i go around
chicagoland. LoL..
I am one who in the last month did buy the wi-fi package (39.99 for
unlimited gprs + hotspot).

Does come in handy.. (And im starting to like those double chocolate chip
whipped frappuccino's. no coffee. (Dam im being a yuppie!)

WiFi (802 11b) is a completly different service that T-Mobile offers. You
have to be in a "HotSpot" and have a wireless card.

Really, a nice price. No phone service involved?

Usually the pricing is like this -

GPRS - Unlimited GPRS with a qualifying voice plan = $19.99
Unlimited GPRS without a qualifying voice plan = $29.99

WiFi (HotSpot) - With a voice plan = $19.99 and no contract
Without a voice plan = $29.99

I have turned it on a couple of times and then back off, finding a HotSpot
and sitting there instead of a nice hotel is not my idea of a good time.
