What’s not super clear to me here is who is paying who? I.e. is NYTimes paying Stbux for the audience, or Stbux paying NYTimes for the content.

Not a bad idea for those of us who hit their 10 free articles a month partway through the month …. does it count towards that, if we are logged in to the NYT web site? Or do we get a pass?

This looks a nice initiative… however it does not “tie the users to stay at Starbucks and order another coffee, as the user can take home their ipad or other tablet and continue reading the downloaded content elsewhere, even at a competitor’s coffee store… The idea is 75% baked, but not yet what it should be… watch this space ..
