Brazil: McInternet

December 14, 2005

The Brazilian division of US fast food chain McDonald's will offer its McInternet service in 40 Brazilian fast food outlets in the next 12 months, reported online portal Terra.

McDonald's has over 1,900 computers installed in the 460 fast food outlets it runs across the country, and each food purchase entitles clients to an hour of access.

The McInternet project was started in August 2001 in partnership with Brazil's second largest private bank, Ita (NYSE: ITU), and US hardware titan HP (NYSE: HPQ).
