Sounds like a good idea; actually makes things harder for little bussinesses.
- bluekeybox 15y agoIt probably even hurts existing restaurant owners, since, if providing free WiFi was good business to them, they would be doing it already, without waiting for some law to be mandated. EDIT: since you changed wording in your comment from "startups" to businesses, I guess my reply to you here is now redundant.
- FaceKicker 15y agoAre you implying that all restaurant owners seize every possible good business opportunity?
- adamjernst 15y agoThe idea is that ones who seize good opportunities will stay in business, and those that don't (offer Wi-Fi in this example) will eventually go out of business without the need for laws.
- bluekeybox 15y agoOn a second thought, I guess there is a certain potential benefit (to the consumer / economy in general) of being able to walk into any restaurant and use WiFi. Still, I am happier to see changes like that come about naturally rather than being forced from above.
- wisty 15y ago> "so long as they are larger than 120 sq m" 120 sqm is quite a big restaurant, not a mam-papa noodle shack.
