McDonald's has started offering free Wi-Fi at about 11,500 out of its 14,000 locations today.
As previously reported, the company is hoping to transform itself from an in and out fast food location into a hang out destination.
Thanks to a partnership with AT&T, McDonald's decided to drop the $2.95 fee that it had charged customers for two hours of WiFi, McDonald's USA Chief Information Officer David Grooms said in an interview.
The fast food chain hopes that free Wi-Fi will keep customers around longer and increase sales of their McCafe line of coffee drinks.
