OAK BROOK, Ill., July 14 (UPI) -- McDonalds this week launched a project that puts high-speed internet service at tables in 75 restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area.

McDonald's plans to equip several hundred restaurants in the United Sates with Wi-Fi Internet connections by the end of the year.
The fast food restaurant chain is charring $4.95 for two hours of online access at its San Francisco restaurants, but customers who buy a meal may use the technology without charge.
