Caffeine and wifi fix

December 21st, 2004

My previously-favourite hotel in Leeds, the Marriot, has joined the roll of shame and started to charge an eye-watering £7 an hour for wifi access (previously it was was free.) So rather than shell out for that and the overpriced (and quite frankly watery) coffee, I’ve decamped to Starbucks. The coffee’s better, but the wifi is slooooowww, the music’s loud enough to intrusive and the signal strength upstairs is patchy.

Is there a valid business model for a chain of coffee shops that has free wifi, no music and decent coffee?
