Media Coverage on My AT&T / Starbucks Scoop Continues

Source: alanweinkrantz.typepad.com

While my focus of this blog has been on IPTV, I am starting to write and cover
stories about wireless. 

I happened to be driving in between my home
and my office, stopped at the Starbucks in my neighborhood, got a cup
of Java and saw the AT&T crew there. 

I knew that AT&T and Starbucks had announced the switch from
T-Mobile to AT&T, so putting 1 + 1 together, I ran to my office,
got my computer, logged on, got on the AT&T (and not the T-Mobile
network), blogged, sent some pitches out via email, and…..it just
struck a chord.

I am going to start melding AT&T / Starbucks / Apple into my
editorial mix.  Oh- yes, still do IPTV.  Once whole home DVR is real
its yet another ball game.  And once I get U-verse Voice, then I have
an all IP home.  There is plenty to do and more fun to come.

Breaking coverage included sites such as:

Engadget

Gizmodo

Gizmonews

InformationWeek

MacWorld (Glen Fleishman’s syndicated story)

PC World (Glen Fleishman’s syndicated story)

RV Internet (a news site for people who live in RVs, or are always on the road and need Internet access)

San Antonio Express News  (where AT&T is headquartered)

Seattle Post Intelligencer (where Starbucks is headquartered)

Starbucks Gossip (yes, there really is a site by this name)

Washington Post (Glen Fleishman’s syndicated story)

WiFiNetNews (Glen Fleishman’s source story)
