US McDonald's Wi-Fi Going Free In January

Posted by kdawson on Friday December 18, 2009 @05:23AM from the fries-with-that dept.

Knowzy writes "After five years behind a paywall, McDonalds plans to stop charging for its Wi-Fi in mid-January in the US. According to the Dallas Morning News, you aren't even required to make a purchase — 'free is free,' a spokesman said. It's also been widely reported that they won't impose time limits on your surfing. With around 20,000 free hotspots between McDonald's and Starbucks (who went free[ish] earlier this year), anyone still charging for Wi-Fi is going to look foolish, if not downright greedy."

That's probably why there's no time limitation. The hard plastic seats take care of that for them.

We're omnivores, not carnivored or herbivores. We need meat AND veggies.
