Second Cup Coffeehouses In Canada Getting Wi-Fi
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 04:00 PM
"A number of Second Cup coffee shops across Canada will now be serving up wireless access to customers, allowing them to surf the Net and sip their lattés at the same time. At one of its locations in downtown Toronto Tuesday, the coffee retailer announced the rollout of a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) service that will operate initially in 50 outlets. That number is scheduled to increase by another 70 locations by next month."
It's free until April, so for those Northern neighbors of ours who envy the Starbucks/T-Mobile HotSpot network here in the US, you've now got an alternative to take your Pocket PC out to. :) Maybe this'll jumpstart competition and encourage T-Mobile to move into the Canadian Starbucks space as well?
