asv108's Journal: Free Wifi is Viral

About a year and half ago, I posted a JE about free wifi. At the time there were two place s to have a bite to eat and get free wifi. Originally, usage was very light, there was hardly ever a time where anyone else was on line besides myself and my boss. After about 6 months though, free wifi use has taken off and has become a big factor when deciding where to eat. Irvings, the local coffee,bagel, and sandwich shop in State College was the first to offer free wifi in our small town. At any given time when I walk in to Irvings, I usually see at least 5 people on line.

Other business owners have started to notice, right now I'm writing this message from the Ale House, a bar and grill place in Toftrees, a woodsy area just outside of State College. Even the local sportsbar, Champs has jumped on the wifi train. I think within 3-5 years the majority of places that depend on lunch crowds will have some form of wifi access, it will no longer be a novelty.

How is the free Wifi situation elsewhere?
