McDonald to make Wi-Fi available in all of its UK Restuarants

The internationally known fast food owners, McDonald's has promised its customers free high speed wireless internet access at most of its 1,200 branches before the year runs out, this single act would make McDonald’s the biggest provider of such a service in the whole of the UK.
All tha is needed by a Customer laptop, compatible mobile phones or games consoles and they stay connected for hours as they wish. The same initiative is offered by some coffee shops and cafes, which provide Wi-Fi hotspots but charge for the connection.
The company said the service would benefit a wide range of customers, from business people making a "pit stop" to check email between meetings to those looking for a leisurely break at the weekend to download music. A simple arithmetic given by the company claimed that a user who pays to log on for just an hour a week in any other shop has the advantage of saving up to about £260 a year on premium Wi-Fi charges by using McDonald's free service. Out of the 13,000 outlets it has, McDonald’s has already flagged of the free scheme in about 8,000 of them in the US.
The company's president and chief executive officer, Steve Easterbrook, said: "We hope that this will be a breath of fresh air and give greater choice for Wi-Fi hotspot users who have had little choice but to pay by the month or hour to access the internet on the move." Faced with the prospect of young people spending hours surfing the net after buying just a single cup of coffee, a spokesman for McDonald's said: "We would be comfortable with that. There will be no restrictions."
The editor of Computing, Bryan Glick, said: "The future of technology is in secure, wireless, mobile, go-anywhere computers and anything that helps people achieve that is a step in the right direction."
