While iPhone owners will just have to keep waiting for AT&T to get its ducks in line and decide when, exactly, they want to officially offer iPhone customers a free ride on AT&T's WiFi HotSpot locations in the US, AT&T LaptopConnect mobile broadband customers can now enjoy free access to all AT&T WiFi HotSpot locations McDonald's, Starbucks and Barnes & Nobles locations.

AT&T today announced that the free WiFi HotSpot service is included in customers' LaptopConnect mobile broadband plans. It seems that the No. 1 US wireless carriers wants to encourage customers to surf the web through its WiFi HotSpot network when possible, easing the burden on the 3G wireless network and opening up the "tubes" for other 3G-connected customers.

As far as the iPhone, it seems that AT&T is waiting to time the launch of the free iPhone WiFi HotSpot service with the 3G iPhone's launch next month. Keep checking back for the latest details…

      :twisted: This is BS It is only available to Windoz users who has added millions to AT&T’s bottom line and will continue to for the next four years of the guaranteed contract. So why the big hoopla? If it worked with my iPhone like it did a couple weeks ago it wouldn’t be all that bad. So if you are an Apple laptop user with AT&T wireless card and and/or iPhone call your AT&T representative and vent your opinion.
