Why Use AT&T Wifi?
I bet you didn't know that you can pull out your laptop at a lot of places around town like restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, hotels, and airports and get an internet connection if you have a wireless connection on the back of your laptop. No you aren't stealing someone else's wireless internet connection, you are experiencing wifi and it is a growing thing all over the country. When it first started wifi was something that was limited to a small amount of providers and it cost a great deal of money to use. But as time went by, and large corporations saw the potential for offering wifi, wifi has now switched from being something that restaurants and hotels had to find for themselves to being something that is being offered to them by large corporations for free to offer their customers. One of the companies out in front of the wifi movement is AT&T.
AT&T wifi is springing up all over the country and, very soon, it will also be all over the world. Offering people the ability to connect to the internet through a public and open connection can seem risky but AT&T wifi offers some strong security measures as AT&T understands the dangers of open internet connections. AT&T wifi can be found, currently, in over 55,000 locations throughout the country and that number grows every week. As the internet reaches the rest of the globe expect to see AT&T wifi cover the planet and soon everyone will be able to connect to the internet using AT&T wifi.
My How Times Have Changed
Publicly accessible wifi used to cost a lot of money. There have been companies that have charged as much as $17 or $18 an hour just to use the internet at someone's favorite coffee shop and the security in those early networks was not that great. Enter AT&T who has a great understanding of how to set up a safe public network and also has a huge customer base that can purchase their wifi service if it was offered in enough places. To go along with their purchase of Cingular, AT&T extended their commitment to the wireless market with AT&T wifi and now offers customers the chance to purchase monthly subscriptions, for very reasonable rates, to connect to the internet using AT&T's wifi system. Since it is currently one of the largest public wifi systems in the country it just makes sense.
You can log on to the AT&T wifi network by just using your regular laptop with a wireless connection and the connection pier software you load from AT&T. You do not need to input a credit card number to access the internet and all of your personal information is safely stored on AT&T's servers. AT&T saw the wireless market taking off years ago and they decided that they wanted to move their customers from phone lines that can tie you down to completely wireless connections for wherever you are. What better company to offer such state-of-the-art services than AT&T?
