Free AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots for iPhone still unofficial

Maybe it’s because I work as a reporter, but it seems to me that secrets are overrated. I suspect that so often the cost of keeping secrets is greater than whatever benefit they bring. You may disagree. But there’s one thing that should be clear: if you want to keep a secret, you shouldn’t post it on the Internet.

That brings us to the odd case of AT&T and its free Wi-Fi for iPhone users. Last week, several iPhone owners reported to the MacRumors blog that they were offered free Wi-Fi service at hotspots run by AT&T at Starbucks and Barnes & Noble. A few days later, the free access was cut off.
