Starbucks Corp. will offer its unlimited wireless Internet network to all customers of its branches in the United States starting next month, part of an effort to attract more customers, the company said Monday.
The Free Wi-Fi will be available from 1 July at 6700 local.
The coffee chain, which this year had its first quarterly increase in referrals after 13 quarters without success, had offered two hours of free internet per day for registered users.
After this period customers of the chain, founded in Seattle, had to pay a small fee.
Access will be offered through AT & T, but to use it not necessary to have a Starbucks loyalty card, according to an announcement made by the CEO Howard Schultz at a conference in New York.
The move comes six months after the rival of Starbucks, McDonald's Corp., to offer free Wi-Fi in 11 500 U.S. stores.
