Hello All,
Good to see... some have realized how to capitalize on wireless.
So, why go to Starbucks, when you can go to McDs? McD probably realized how
low cost it was to deploy and maintain, and how few extra combo meals it
needed to make the money back. They'll probably implement it via the prepaid
calling card way... print out the code on the combo meal receipt for the
captive portal.
Another Pro for McD's
- way to expand McD target audience, currently laptops users (with their
more expensive tastes) tends to avoid McD, now they'll go.
Cons
- people will stay in McD's longer, will an apple pie extend the time. ;-)

FYI: I'll be on vacation from
Sat. 3/15 -> Wed. 3/26.
So, I won't have access to
e-mail during that time.
