McDonalds Wi-Fi overcooked? author Doug Mohney couldn't be more on target with his assessment that people won't necessarily flock to McDonald's just to use their WiFi while they suck back a heart attack, er... I mean, BigMac.

Seeing how good ole' ev found himself in a Starbucks not too long ago for that very reason, Mohney might be a bit left of center after all.

And hold on - is billing really an issue? I keep coming across the terminology "turnkey solution" here and there. Is it possible that providers are already thinking about his billing-issue gripe?

Regardless, it does fly contrary to the basic value proposition of their other high-tech offering, the SpeedPass. Wasn't the point of that device that you can get in and out faster, not hang around longer?
