Well, as much as I love WiFi hotspots and being able to walk into a coffee shop with my laptop, handing out free WiFi probably isn't the best business model. Especially relatively unregulated like this. Imagine if someone had actually abused it!
I know we make jokes on Slashdot about the usefulness of caffeine as a geek stimulant and all-round pick-me-up, but I'm pretty sure it's better to have less caffeine in your coffee as opposed to more.
...I still think that other movie tie-ins like promotional fast food offers, action figures, jillions of DVD and VHS releases, etc. etc. will bring in more money. I mean, if the total market is $11 billion then that generated by tie-ins from other media must be only a few tens of millions.
