| McDonald's Canada adding free Wi-Fi
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - McDonald's Canada is going to add free wireless Internet service at a number of its restaurants, following the lead of its U.S. parent company.
It says "Metro Vancouver is being considered as part of the initial roll-out of Wi-Fi in the months to come." It's expected McDonald's will tie the Wi-Fi move to its sponsorship of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
McDonald's already offers Wi-Fi at 11,000 of its 14,000 locations in the U.S. but now says it will be free of charge starting next month. It currently charges $2.95 U.S. for two hours of Internet service.

That is great news! Hopefully most of the 24hr branches get it so students can study there!  Especially the Kingsway and Victoria branch.... nothing else around that neighbourhood (East Van. / Burnaby) is open late... other than the Blenz on Kingsway but that's always jam packed during exam times hah

HK's has a limit of 20 minutes, after that you have to pay. It came in handy on many occasions for me, before I had 3G. I think they should have done a 20 minute limit in North America too, to prevent people from loitering all day, taking up seats

or maybe it's to show off that they're college students by studying where people normally socialize.

Weird.

Yeah, my kids tell me that all the time. If they actually studied that much, they should be a genius by now. LOL.
I check and there's like 50 gazillion chat windows open. Maybe they're chatting about their assignment - yeah, right!
They friggin forget, I used to be a student, too.

I dont get it, how hard is it to plug in a wireless router and have and give out free internet?
If i was the owner of a McD's franchise or any other franchise for that matter, I would've jumped on this train a long time ago.

Was the HQ location (by willingdon) the only one with free wifi? I swear I was using free wifi there, though like HK, had a time limit before you had to purchase additional time.
Denny's offers free wifi, by the way.

Denny's offers free wifi, by the way. | The HQ McDonald's has had WiFi for quite some time. They offered it in order to cater to the local corporations in the area and offered a voucher for WiFi upon purchase, good for I believe 30 minutes or an hour, or something of the like.
