"Why
Wi-fi? - Pros and cons of a wireless cafe"
By Kristine
Hansen

Dave Olson, minister of marketing at Zhonka, in Olympia, Wash, sell DSL
Internet connections to a variety of companies (mostly cafes) in
Olympia and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Cafe managers then turn
around and offer wireless Internet to their coffee and tea sipping
customers at no cost. "For us, it's a good marketing ploy," he says.
"It promotes us in the community and puts out a lot of marketing
goodwill. A year or so ago, it was mostly pay-per-use. Now people are
drifting more toward doing the free thing." (note: not Dave Olson

looking to join with cafes to provide free Internet access. They
started out by asking merchants they knew. “People
said ‘What are you talking about? Who's going to use it? This
is nuts,' ” Olson said. “But they said
‘OK.'”
