According to the Wall Street Journal, McDonald’s will be offering free Wi-Fi service to everyone – starting in January. The fine dining establishment has traditionally charged customers $2.95 for two hours of Internet access at 11,000 of its 14,000 U.S. locations. McDonald’s wants to lift the fee in the hopes that patrons will “hang around during down times between meals,” soaking up the ambiance created by bright plastic and yelling children overdosed on corn syrup and carbohydrates. McDonald’s also apparently wants to leech a few coffee drinkers from Starbucks, which charges $3.99 for two-hours of Internet access. The Wi-Fi at McDonald’s is powered by AT&T, who already offer free Wi-Fi to their broadband and wireless customers.
