I've heard several reports that Starbucks stores in NYC are covering power outlets with metal plates to prevent laptop users from camping out for many hours for free. I must admit that I agree with the philosophy of having users pay for what they get. Starbucks is a business and if they have people who are abusing their free WiFi policy then they should be able to take steps to correct the situation.
I've used coffee shop and Panera Bread free WiFi many times when I was on the road but I try very hard not to be abusive. If everyone would try to be good neighbors and not take unfair advantage then Starbucks wouldn't have to do anything this drastic.
