Google announced, today, that they will be bringing wifi to nearly 7,000 Starbucks stores in the next year and a half.
Taking on a role long held by AT&T, Google indicates that their infrastructure will bring speeds that are 10x faster than what currently exists in Starbucks locations. Even greater speeds are being promised for sites that are in Google’s Fiber cities.
