Free McWifi! McWhat?

Ever wish you were at a McDonald's and just, after skarfing your food down, wanted to hang out online?  Well, McDonald's has done it.

Well, there you go.  A lot of the demographic (teens, young adults, corporate people on a per diem budget, etc.) will appreciate it with their internet enabled wireless devices.

As per the article, McDonald's hopes this makes them more like a "hang out" place as opposed to a fast food joint.  Personally, eggBrain's question then becomes, will they be ready as a hang out place?

Even better though, will this spawn a movement for free Wi-Fi in more places?  Is the "Free Internet" really coming to being?  Does this make McDonald's a valid competitor in the Wi-Fi market? Will becoming connected become more of a right than a privilege?
