Burger King to offer Internet Access

Mockingbird writes "The Associated Press is reporting today that Burger King plans to offer internet access from up to 20 workstations at a franchise in Hartford, CT. Value meal purchasers get 15 free minutes, but no porn and no e-mail. Have it your way, indeed. " If I mega size it can I have a half hour?

    The BK on Lower Broadway near Wall Street in NYC gives you a password with your receipt.
    It expires after 15 mins.
    You need a $5 minimum purchase for more net time.
    Who's gonna eat $20/hour in Whoppers ?

    The idea is dumb for this type of business. Burger King, McDonalds et al are supposed to be fast food. How many times did you use the Net for only 10-15 minutes? Now exclude checks for an E-mail.
    What if people would love this feature so much that they will keep surfing more then 15 mins? How they are gonna to enforce the limits? Fast food places are making their money on FAST rotation of people -- got your food, eat it and go away. This is not cafe where you can sit, drink coffee and enjoy your Quake session. It is not gonna work for the fast food chains.
