What I’m currently paying to be online right now for one hour:
Bell Network Access – One Hour 7.50
PST: $0.60
GST: $0.45
Total: $8.55
Minimum wage in Ontario for hourly workers (and what the baristas around me are probably earning): $8.00
Rate I would be paying if I bought single hours of wireless access for a year (24 hours a day): $74,898
Joanna Briggs is living the dream. You can find Joanna being anti-social on many social networking sites.
Joanna is slowly documenting the re-use of bank buildings in Canada. If you know of a former Canadian bank building that is vacant or reused, please submit the location information»
No users were harmed in the design or development of this site.
Crazy isn’t it!
And then Starbucks blasts your ears full of noise making it tough to concentrate on getting the most out of your $8+/hr wireless connection.
They really need to change back to the good ole days. And of course provide free wireless like Caribou Coffee!
Good Post! Keep up the effort.
