If any medium size restaurant like Koptiam,KFC,Mcdonald and others could provide wi-fi services to their customers(or whoever who sits next to their restaurant),I don't know why can't a shopping complex does the same thing?There must be something 'missing' that I don't understand.Can someone shed more light on this subject matter?Thank you.
I am writing this from a chicken rice restaurant at KB Mall in Kota Bharu using my EeePC Asus 701.

Hi PakAdib,
I think shopping complex more interested in commercial side. I noticed that Sunway Piramid has the wifi thingy too but it is provided by independent company (Packet One if I'm not mistaken) and free trial access for a year. Then you have to pay.

Abedib,
As far as they are concerned...if they can pass the cost to others...
btw we got the brochure from P1 3mths back. I noticed P1 early subscribers were restaurants. I went through their list on the web... most of them are eateries. The WiMAX current offers are great! It's just the coverage that we have to wait...

Honeytar,
Wifi is a crowd puller but the negative side is a few of your patrons may stay too long and deny seats to others.
