Starbucks, T-Mobile and HP Celebrate Wi-Fi Success at Starbucks
Starbucks Coffee Company, T-Mobile USA, Inc.
and HP celebrate the one-year anniversary of the
launch of T-Mobile HotSpot, the nation's largest carrier-
owned Wi-Fi service, by offering customers an
enhanced digital entertainment experience at Starbucks
coffeehouses that will have them happily singing "the
blues."
Beginning today, Starbucks customers will be
rewarded with a unique multimedia experience.
Throughout October, customers using a Wi-Fi enabled
notebook computer while at select Starbucks locations
can watch classic blues performances from legends like
Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, listen to an array of
great blues tunes, and see videos of noteworthy
musicians sharing how blues music and artists
influenced them. The multimedia content, powered by
HP, is based on the Hear Music CD, titled Got a Feeling
Called the Blues and salutes the "Year of the Blues" as
designated by the United States Congress.
"Coupling unique digital content from Hear Music
with T-Mobile HotSpot is an exciting innovation that
gives our customers another reason to come to
Starbucks -- further enhancing the Starbucks
Experience and creating a deeper connection with our
customers," said Don MacKinnon, Starbucks vice
president of Music and Entertainment.
