thing is, that usually where there's a tmobile hotspot, there's a free network very close by as well... hell, if you're in an area with a starbucks, there are usually businesses nearby with open wireless.
i wouldn't i guess, unless you had a specific place in mind where you want to work and there's no spot available yet.

look on the web for sites publishing free hot spots. you just might find a few that are where you need that are free.
Otherwise, start wardriving son.

Screw Starbucks/TMobile. I guess Starbucks is not making enough $$ on their $6.00 cups of coffee.
Panera (http://www.panera.com) is a coffee house/bakery chain that offers internet access for free.

Super easy to use. And if you've got a USB GPS unit, it'll map out the wi-fi networks it finds.
