McDonald's is rolling out free high speed wireless internet access across almost 1,200 restaurants in the UK, making it the UK's biggest provider of free wireless internet access. The service will be delivered by network provider 'The Cloud', whose network has been verified by Intel as one of the most secure available for public access.

Steve Easterbrook, CEO of McDonald's UK, said "More people than ever are looking to access the internet on the move, whether it's on their laptops, mobile phones, PDAs or even games consoles and free access in our restaurants will provide a quick and convenient way for them to do this."
