Exclusive: Surf and Sip signs Amrest in Eastern Europe: In another demonstration of how Wi-Fi is heating up in the rest of the world, Surf and Sip CEO Rick Ehrlinspiel wrote in to announce that they have signed the Amrest restaurant chain in Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. They'll have 130 locations equipped with Wi-Fi, starting with Warsaw and Prague at the end of September. Surf and Sip has rights to 400 locations across those three countries and Hungary which they expect to fulfill within 12 months.
Amrest operates KFC and Pizza Hut in the three countries mentioned above, but they aren't the typical US urban version. Rick notes, People hang out there much like they would at a Starbucks plus they can get a pint of suds. (See a photo of one of these establishments snapped by Rick in mid-August.)
Surf and Sip is approaching 150 locations in the UK, including terminals 1 and 2 at Heathrow.
