Four Barrel in San Francisco did this explicitly at their founding (no outlets either). Unfortunately, the rise of tethering and incredible battery life means it's completely defeated and you often see every table occupied with a person on a laptop.

That $2 they made on the coffee doesn't go far enough. Or have a section with mini-cubicles, like they have internet access by the minute in third world countries.
