McDonald’s to Offer Free Wi-Fi Internet Access

Ron Wilhelm

Beginning mid-January, McDonald’s restaurants will become one of the nation’s largest providers of free Wi-Fi Internet access, thanks to a new deal with AT&T. Free Internet access will be available at 11,000 of the company’s 13,000 U.S. locations, making McDonald’s an even friendlier spot for those in need of connectivity.

Free means what it says and no purchase is required, McDonald’s told the Dallas Morning News.  Currently AT&T charges $2.95 for two-hours of Internet access.

Free Wi-Fi has become the standard.

Hospitality Wireless Solutions

Ron Wilhelm

Whether providing the traveler a comfortable room, television entertainment, or continental breakfast, our clients consider great hospitality is paramount. Our most recent client, The Majestic Hotel of San Francisco, offers the gracious traditions of yesteryear and today. They realized one of the essentials of the modern traveler is having seamless, reliable, and secure access to the Internet but with the present down economy the hotelier required a wireless solution which didn’t exceed their budget.The Majestic Hotel contacted us about installing a more powerful and efficient wireless network than their existing system. They had been using Hotspotzz as a wireless solution but coverage was lacking in signal strength among other issues. As a result, guests’ computers were constantly dropping off the Internet. This was causing the hotel to lose revenue so they contacted SF WiFi to propose a guest wireless network solution for their 33,000 square foot property and we were awarded the project.

Case study and more to come.
