Default Free, Wireless Access to the Zune Marketplace at McDonald's

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/...neUpdatePR.mspx

"Revealed last week, the new software will allow Zune users to wirelessly stream and download music from the Zune Marketplace store on the go; tag and purchase songs directly from the built-in FM radio; and tap into new, personalized music recommendations and programming. To allow customers to take full advantage of the new wireless functionality, Zune today announced that it is working with high-speed Internet access provider Wayport Inc. to deliver Zune users free, wireless access to the Zune Marketplace from more than 9,800 participating McDonald’s®restaurants across the U.S. "Wayport is pleased to be working with Microsoft to make it easier for Zune users to access music on the go," said Dan Lowden, vice president of business development and marketing for Wayport. "Our ability to enable and manage applications and devices over converged networks creates exciting new opportunities for our clients to attract new customers whose digital lifestyle extends beyond their home and office.""

Fancy the idea of free, wireless access to the Zune Marketplace? Microsoft has partnered with Wayport to offer exactly that at over 9,800 McDonald's restaurants. Zune Pass never looked so good!

Yeah, now if only the Zune team would get the Zune Pass out there to places beyond the USA. I really hope the Zune launches somewhere else before the end of the year. You can't grow marketshare being released in two countries.
