Service rollout starts with 1,000 FedEx Office loactions
They may not serve you your favorite coffee concoction or a cruller, but about a thousand FedEx Office locations are serving up free Wi-Fi Internet connectivity via AT&T as of today.
The service is supposed to be available in all 1,900 FedEx Office locations by the end of the month. The company has offered a fee-based Wi-Fi service since 2003, but it’s safe to assume that free will prove to be a more enticing price point.
From the FedEx press release:
Free Wi-Fi access is a significant resource for mobile professionals and small businesses, many of which already rely on FedEx Office for printing and shipping services each day. In fact, according to a March 2010 survey conducted by AT&T, nearly eight in ten small businesses (79 percent) report using Wi-Fi connectivity to conduct business-related activities. Another 68 percent say they use Wi-Fi-enabled hotspots more now to access data than they did two years ago.
