At&t Wi-Fi Hotspot Connections Increase 41% in Second Quarter

At&t 3G coverage might be spotty in your area, but At&t customers have seriously been taking advantage of free Wi-Fi connections.

With approximately 25.6 million connections so far in 2009, Wi-Fi connections this year have already surpassed the 20 million connections seen in all of 2008.

The Barnes & Noble agreement is in addition to At&t’s existing 20,000 U.S. hotspots, making it the Wi-Fi powerhouse here in the U.S.
