The Wireless is Free–Just Ask Our Neighbor!

Sitting in the cafe today, I met a man who lives across the street. “Right over there, he said, in that yellow building, up on the second floor.” He just bought a new laptop, our head tech at Computer Cleaners Joe Obeng helped him pick it out.

“You know he gave me good advice, and your wireless signal works in my apartment.” Well that is good…I guess. The strong signal from the cafe’s wireless is providing him with free Internet over there across the street from our business. We originally wanted to provide town wireless, for a fee….but there are not enough people like this man to make that pay off yet.

In the big picture, this is good. And it doesn’t cost us anything for him to jump on our network and get his email and read websites. We should be happy that he knows enough to hook up. Maybe after we’ve had the cafe open for a few months, and have settled into a good cashflow routine, then I’ll be happy that our wireless is being shared by our coffee customer across the street.
