McDonalds to begin offering free Wi-Fi in “mid-January”

McDonalds and AT&T have just announced a new partnership that will soon give those choosing to dine-in free Wi-Fi. Yup, that means the days of having to pay $2.95 for two hours of access are gone. The free access is expected to take effect sometime in mid-January and will be available at roughly 11,000 of the 14,000 McDonalds locations across the US. And sadly this will most likely just encourage more people to sit and eat and leach on free Wi-Fi, and also grease up their laptops or portable devices. Not that I ever lend my laptop out, but I think I will have to add a new policy just in case the situation ever comes up, a friend can borrow it if needed but they are never allowed to eat greasy fast food at the same time they are surfing.
