McDonalds Confirm Free Wi-Fi Access Availability McDonalds to Drop Wi-Fi Charges from January

By way of a
brief heads up for those of you who like to take in a little net
surfing or to pick up your mails whilst tucking into a quarter pounder
at McDonalds as McDonalds have now confirmed that they will be dropping
the charge for Wi-Fi access at all its Wi-Fi enabled joints with free
Wi-Fi access set to rollout from January of next year.
Presently costing you some $2.95 for two hours Wi-Fi access, McDonalds
are set to rescind the charge at its 11,000 restaurants that presently
offer Wi-Fi access which will see the burger chain fall I line with the
likes of Starbucks who ve offered free Wi-Fi net access to its customers
for some considerable time now.
There s no official word from either McDonalds or AT T concerning AT T s
take on the soon to be free Wi-Fi access " McDonalds Wi-Fi access is
provided in partnership with AT T " as, up until now, AT T have stood
to profit financially from the partnership. McDonald's USA Chief
Information Officer David Grooms, who confirmed that McDonalds will
indeed offer free Wi-Fi access from January, refused to be drawn on the
financial details but we suspect its going to be left to Ronald to flash
the plastic and pick up the tab.
