An outbreak of clue here in North Beach. Caffe Roma, (that’s Columbus and Union, San Franciscans) has free Wifi after Tony, the owner, was approached by Surf’n’Sip to start a pay-for service. Hmm, he thought, I have DSL anyway, what if I just bought an airport and gave it away? Result – tables filled with laptop users, and an increase in the sale of coffee, sandwiches, and ice cream. He’s a happy man.
For $30 – $50/month plus the hardware cost ($200), why don’t more coffee shops, etc. do this?
