Every few months, there’s another gas station chain adds Wi-Fi story: Estonia apparently was the first to pioneer this, and a colleague recently returned from there described the country as scary-wired. They’re pretty hip. But the rest of the world has taken a while to catch on, possibly because of quantity. With most chains, you want to make sure that people can consistently obtain the same services. This is what took McDonald’s so long to sign onto Wi-Fi: more than a year of testing with multiple partners led them to their current extensive plan.
Now part of Michigan has its Speedway and SuperAmerica stations unwired. FreedomNet Solutions is providing the service. They hope to strike gold in the way that apparently truck stops have. Truckers and mobile professionals alike need Wi-Fi on the road. It’s just plain easier to remain in the car or grab a bite and commute while still staying on top of deadlines and changes.
