A post from Geek Austin, a remarkably low traffic site, called Schlotsky's goes wireless?. Apparently Schlotzsky's on Town Lake, and in fact all their Austin stores, will be providing free wireless Internet access (a T1 per store). The first comment on the story is useless, but the second contains the interesting info that Alamo Drafthouse North already has this and it looks like lots of the local coffeehouses are going to be doing it. If it does take off locally I wonder if Starbucks will feel that it has to do it also and we'll end up with a rapid increase in wireless access points. Of course then it will make more sense to have a wireless lan card and the whole thing could snowball.

Perhaps it's time to get that Apple TiBook with the wireless lan now (if only I could afford one :).
