I didn't know Starbucks paid for pokestops! Not that this would help me, because there's only a few Starbucks in the whole of Australia, but still, it's interesting!

Every Starbucks in the US has a "sponsored" pokestop now. They appeared in late December, I think. The disc shows a Starbucks beverage, and the text at the top is a miniature advertisement. I've also seem some "sponsored" pokestops at the storefronts of some mobile phone service providers.

Japan reportedly has the most such "sponsored" pokestops in the world! On the YouTube videos of people at the Lapras event, you see them spinning a lot of sponsored discs for Japanese banks and restaurants and all kinds of companies.
