I currently go to my local Borders book store to read books and converse with friends as well as holding business meetings.

Borders will soon be taken over by Barnes and Noble, which has Starbucks as their inhouse cafe. One characteristic of Starbucks is that, as long as you have a Starbucks card with $5 on it, you have free wireless access.

A $2 extra large cup of tea for those benefits seems fair to me.
