Capitalistic Greed, WiFi and Bad Coffee

I heard from my brother (Mysanthropist) that Starbucks[TRADEMARK!] and T-Mobile[TRADEMARK!] have joined corporate forces to charge customers for WiFi services ($19.99 a month or $10 for a day-pass).

You mean to tell me that two of the biggest corporations in the world are unable to afford complimentary WiFi?! And it is especially so when there is a small mom-and-pop coffeehouse down the block, with a fraction of the monetary clout that these two business leviathans possess, offering free wireless Internet.

*Inhale* Ahhh, I love the smell of unstoppable capitalism and bad coffee in the morning...
