Magento add newsletter subscribe in checkout

I want to make it possible that a new customer should sign up to the newsletter while the checkout process (if he create a new account).

So I have put a checkbox in the billing.phtml file as follow:

<input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" 
      title="newsletter_signup" value="1"  class="checkbox"/>
<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter 2') ?>

But nothing has happened. It did not work. I think I must do more? But I don't know what?

Here is the process you can follow -

add below code at billing.phtml

 <input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" title="<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter') ?>" value="1"  checked="checked" class="checkbox" />

using the event checkout_submit_all_after subscribe the customer to newsletter

<global>
 <events>
    <checkout_submit_all_after> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <checkout_submit_all_after_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>singleton</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>magento52274/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>AssignNewletter</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
            <args></args> <!-- additional arguments passed to observer -->
          </checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
        </observers>
      </checkout_submit_all_after>
    </events>
  </global>

And Observer code is :

public function AssignNewletter($observer) {
            $event = $observer->getEvent();
            $order = $event->getOrder();
        $Quote =$event->getQuote();
        if (in_array($Quote()->getCheckoutMethod(), array('register','customer'))):

        if Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getParam('is_subscribed')){
        $status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($Quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail());
        }
        endif;
   }

Full Module:

Step1: create config.xml at app/code/local/Stackexchange/Magento52274/etc/ and code is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Stackexchange_Magento52274>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </Stackexchange_Magento52274>
  </modules>
  <global>
    <models>
      <magento52274>
        <class>Stackexchange_Magento52274_Model</class>
      </magento52274>
    </models>
    <events>
      <checkout_submit_all_after> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <checkout_submit_all_after_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>singleton</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>magento52274/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>AssignNewletter</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
          </checkout_submit_all_after_handler>
        </observers>
      </checkout_submit_all_after>
    </events>
  </global>
</config> 

Step2: create Observer.php at app/code/local/Stackexchange/Magento52274/Model/ and code is

<?php
class Stackexchange_Magento52274_Model_Observer
{

    public function AssignNewletter(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
    {
    $event = $observer->getEvent();
            $order = $event->getOrder();
        $Quote =$event->getQuote();
        if (in_array($Quote()->getCheckoutMethod(), array('register','customer'))):

            if Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getParam('is_subscribed', false)){
        $status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($Quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail());
         }
        endif;
    }

}

Step3: create Module app/etc/modules/Stackexchange_Magento52274.xml and code is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Stackexchange_Magento52274>
      <active>true</active>
      <codePool>local</codePool>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </Stackexchange_Magento52274>
  </modules>
</config>

Step4: And also need add newsletter field at billing.phtml a

<input type="checkbox" name="is_subscribed" title="<?php echo $this->__('Sign Up for Newsletter') ?>" value="1"  checked="checked" class="checkbox" />
