For years T-mobile has held the reigns of Starbucks Wifi service, but with the recent deal between At&t and Starbucks, times were set to change.  Unfortunately during the transition between the two carriers operating the WiFi locations, a feud ensued.  T-mobile filed a lawsuit against Starbucks for unspecified damages as a result of a breach of contract and unfair competition.  We are glad to announce that a solution has been reached and we can all get back to enjoying our 2 free hours of Wifi compliments of At&t.  While the details are still up in the air, a Starbucks spokeswoman named Stacey Krum made a statement regarding the matter:
