Good news for gfy players!!!

After five years behind a paywall, McDonalds plans to stop charging for its Wi-Fi in mid-January in the US. According to the Dallas Morning News, you aren't even required to make a purchase — 'free is free,' a spokesman said. It's also been widely reported that they won't impose time limits on your surfing. With around 20,000 free hotspots between McDonald's and Starbucks (who went free[ish] earlier this year), anyone still charging for Wi-Fi is going to look foolish, if not downright greedy.

You guys can check your street cred for free now wile having your fries!

There's a statement there about a business model. If Mickey D's cant hang with charging per hour/day, can anyone?

I know here, there are several chains that offer free wifi at all locations, and during the day they are all busier than they were before. And although none require a purchase, most people do.

Bottom line it's a traffic driver, not a revenue driver.

I guess there will be fewer "bros" at the Krystal now.
