- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

I work for McDonalds Resturants Ltd. and all McDonalds should now have free Wi-Fi, (subject to functionality of equiment). We no longer use BT openzone and now use a service called "The Cloud" www.thecloud.net. This now makes McDonalds the the UK's biggest provider of free wireless internet access.The free service will benefit a broad range of McDonald's customers, from business people making a pit stop to check email between meetings to those looking for a leisurely break at the weekend to download music. In fact, a regular hotspot user who pays to log on for just an hour a week in a coffee shop could stand to save as much as £260 per year on premium WiFi charges by using McDonald's free service.
