Free wifi isn′t new concept but did you know McDonalds offers it at select locations? It was news to me the other day and have to admit it was nice to use my Windows Phone via wifi while feasting my Big Mac.

McDonalds isn’t alone providing customers with free wifi. Starbuck’s offers free wifi for AT&T customers (two hour limit per day), free AT&T wifi scattered across nation at various airports, and you can find hot spots at select Barnes and Noble stores.

And free wifi seems be spreading.  Just checking my neck the woods OpenWiFiSpots.com, asides from local motel/hotels Buffalo Wild Wings, T.G.I. Fridays, and Panera Bread are other national chains offering free wifi.&nbsp AT&ampT&nbsprecently announced they are launching a pilot program to offer free wifi New York City at Times Square to see it can lighten load on their 3G&nbspnetworks.&nbsp If successful, it may spread to other downtown centers.
