In April, Kinko's and T-Mobile Hotspot announced plans to put hotspots in Kinko's locations around the country. Because both companies call Dallas, Texas, home (the main T-Mobile USA office is in Bellevue, Wash.), the first of those locations goes live today at the Kinko's store on Greenville Avenue there. That launch will feature a "cutting of the Ethernet cord" by company executives.

Jeff Heyman, retail vice president for Kinko's, is one of the execs who'll be there, scissors in hand. He told Wi-Fi Planet that the Greenville store is the perfect launch location because it "addresses a lot of mobile professionals."

That road warrior marketplace is one of the big differentiators for T-Mobile in getting Kinko's as a partner. While the company's hotspot service is available in many airport lounges which might be frequented by business travelers, its largest partners have been cafés: Starbucks coffee shops (2,300 locations to date) and Borders Books & Music (320 locations to date).
