SBC finally good for something...

Something you might not know if you're an SBC/AT&T DSL subscriber...

Barnes & Noble's wireless is admin'd by SBC.  Normally, you have to either become a member at 19.95/mo with a 1 year committment, or buy a prepaid connection card, which comes to about 8.00/day for connection, or pay 3.95 for a two hour connection.  Not bad, if you really need connectivity, but not great either, if you use it a lot.

I was looking at their options, and noticed that if you're a DSL subscriber, you can subscribe to wireless connectivity as well for an extra 1.99/month.  $2 a month.  That's it.  Month to month.  Gets you connections at BNN, McDonald's (!), UPS stores, Caribou coffee houses(don't have those around here) and a few other assorted places.  possibly in airports as well.  now THAT's a deal.

That's the first thing SBC's done that didn't piss me off in years.
