Starbucks will get speedier, Google-powered free Wi-Fi

Google will be boosting the Wi-Fi in all 7,000 company-operated Starbucks stores over the next 18 months. Google promises connection speeds up to 10 times faster than what they are now, and 100 times faster in Google Fiber cities across America. Starting in August, each free Wi-Fi connection will be available under the same name “Google Starbucks.”
