Free Wi-Fi at any McDonald's restaurant

McDonald's will be introducing free high speed wireless internet to most of its 1200 UK restaurants by the end of 2007. The move will make it the UK's biggest provider of such a service.

Customers with laptops, PDAs, mobiles and consoles will be able to surf for as long as they wish, saving money over some coffee shops and cafes which offer a similar service but charge users a fee - maybe up to £260 for someone who uses just an hour a week.

McDonald's say the service is aimed at both casual and business users.
