McDonalds WiFi will be free like obesity starting January

December 16th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Corner

whether you live in small-town America thereupon you’re already familiar with the hippest hangout around: McDonald’s. Now everyone in the US, not just Zune owners, will be treated to free WiFi to go with their manufactured food purchases. Starting mid-January, some 11,000 Mickey Dee locations will partner with AT&T to scrub the $2.95 for 2-hours of WiFi fee according to David Grooms, CIO of McDonalds USA. The view is to hook the nation’s loitering youth into purchasing additional items in amidst Facebook updates capturing late-night

brawls with local rent-a-cops. Thank gawd there’s a middle-aged man-clown out there who likes to babysit children.
