Find a Schlotzsky’s Deli
Good article by Paul Boutin in Wired Magazine entitled “Would You Like Wi-Fi with That?” Boy, do I agree! Hotels should also take note. The very nice hotel that I stayed in when we were in Washington, DC charged $14.00 a night for their service. Boo hiss! He points to Schlotzsky’s as a good example of knowing the right way to serve wi-fi.
Schlotzsky’s lets anyone sign up and use its network free, even if they don’t come in for a sandwich. The chain advises its 600 franchise owners to beam Wi-Fi signals through the walls into nearby hotels, parks, and college dorms.
He closes with “Wi-Fi isn’t a luxury or even a commodity. It’s a condiment.”
Hear! Hear!
