Smartphone users are always looking for free wi-fi but at what price does it come? Businesses are looking at ways to make the free wi-fi they offer work for them too. It can track our movements through our phones and reveal a great deal about us to those who have something to sell.
It's interesting to see... and I think it's a great way for business owners to get real-time actionable feedback on their sales performance but...

Where do the ethics stand on this one?

Either way... it's'a comin'!

  • I am in a starbucks, in the U.S., with the new wifi partner Google.

    great speeds.- getting 50-75 megs download

    google made it easy to connect (no log in process)

    then it opens to starbucks page showing news and weather.

    If I owned a cafe :

    I would, have a page of offers, thanks for connecting, calls 2 action to create consumer obligation, loyalty, gather contact information (like cell #'s for text Marketing),and more..

    a window of oppty for offline marketers!
