Free Broadband Wireless Hotspots
Posted: 19th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
Those choosing to eat in Londons Benugo sandwich bar chain might like to know that the company is offering its customers free broadband wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) Hotspot access to accompany their meals:
When they make a purchase, customers will be given an access code that allows them to log into the wireless network for up to 30 minutes, letting them check email and surf the Web while they're away from the office.
The two stores are located at St Johns Street, Clerkenwell and at Berwick Street, Soho. Benugo hopes to boost trade at these outlets by offering this free high-speed wireless access to its customers.
"We believe that offering this service for free will encourage an increase in turnover whilst allowing us to concentrate on our core business -- excellent food," said Tim Parfitt, Benugo's finance director, in a statement.
We wouldn't be at all surprised if deals like this become increasingly common, although mixing food and drink with portable computing can be a risky business =). More @ ZDNet.
