Comment Travel WiFi (Score 1) 576
Having WiFi available at a coffeeshop is a major selling point for travelers that frequent certain areas (or even have the foresight to do a little Googling beforehand).
For example, I used to travel frequently between school in San Luis Obispo to see my girlfriend in Fresno. When her work schedule changed to put her in the office on the only days I could come over, I opted to simply wait her out in a coffee shop and do homework. The coffee shop we frequented for this purpose (biweekly or so) had free WiFi, which made me working from there possible.
The point is: I would not go to that coffeeshop and buy coffee (I purchased several drinks and some food during each 8 hour stint) unless it had free WiFi.
Just a thought,
