Free “Wi-Fi” at AT&T hotspots will be a nice perk and a good move on AT&T’s part as it would relieve some load from their data network (after all, if we’re not using their WiFi, we’ll be using their EDGE and soon 3G) and generate some goodwill on behalf of their customers. Of course it’s not really free since we’re paying $20/mo for data plus more for voice plans, but at least it would be at no additional charge.
