McDonald’s offering free WiFi to its customers

What goes better with greasy fries and corn syrupy sodas than delicate electronic equipment? McDonald’s announced today that they plan to roll out free wi-fi in their outlets that currently offer it for a fee. The goal is to make their restaurants more amenable to people hanging out, and gobble up more of Starbucks’ share of the latte-sipping market.

The fast-food chain in September said it aims to become the No. 1 coffee store in Europe, a position now held by Starbucks. Read more
