"T-Mobile, AT&T and Starbucks have entered into a
memorandum of understanding to resolve their disputes and are
committed to providing a high quality Wi-Fi experience for
customers," Starbucks spokeswoman Stacey Krum said in the
statement e-mailed to reporters.
She did not disclose the terms of the agreement. An AT&T
spokesman confirmed the agreement and a T-Mobile spokesman had
no immediate comment.
In a lawsuit filed last week in New York state court,
T-Mobile alleged that AT&T and Starbucks were not abiding by an
agreement the three companies reached over how Starbucks should
transfer from its T-Mobile partnership to a new partnership
with AT&T announced earlier this year.
T-Mobile said in the suit at the time that it was seeking
unspecified damages against Starbucks for breach of its
contract and unfair competition.
AT&T and Starbucks said in late April that they had begun a
nationwide Wi-Fi roll-out in Starbucks chains.
