No More Starbucks

Halifax has plenty of coffee shops.  Most every one of them offers free wireless internet access.  When you think about it, this seems like a reasonable service to offer when your customers are willing to shell out five bucks for what is, essentially, a big glass of milk.

Unfortunately, Starbucks has recently partnered with Bell Canada to offer paid WiFi in all their Canadian stores.  For a mere $7.50 an hour, you too can have the privilege of using your laptop from their hallowed halls.  Take a look at the full pricing schedule.

I won’t be going back.  I really like the Wired Monk anyway.
