McDonald's , AT&T, Offer Free Wi-Fi

July 28, 2003

And while researchers say the majority of McDonald's customers don't have Wi-Fi access, that will change as the price of laptops, mobile phones and PDAs drop and new products have chips that automatically find and connect to Wi-Fi hotspots.

According to Parks Associates, there will be as many as 2.5 million Wi-Fi users in the United States by the end of the year.

From the article "McDonald's , AT&T, Offer Free Wi-Fi," by Colin C. Haley.
