The Food Court Wi-Fi Experience
Last Saturday, I had the chance to test the wi-fi capability of SM Megamall. This was to coincide with the Filipino Food Festival that was going on. In addition to that, the people of Anvil Publishing (remember the Kulinarya book) were there to promote a cooking demo at the Podium (which coincided with the Ateneo vs UST game at the Philsports Arena)
The bloggers were few, met some new personalities and saw old hands. (Coincidentally, it was a Transfans meet-up that day). Given that, there was a better chance of winning prizes. Congrats to everybody, since no one went home empty-handed (with Cher securing the grand prize). Mine was a cookbook, which I gave to my mom (she would put it to better use than I would).
Wi-fi was good, speed ok, considering the size of the mall and the possbile number of users.
I am looking forward to the other places you can go online.
Oh, just for you to know about the Food Court in Megamall:
It was opened to the public on 12/6/92 (the 5th mall to have one at the time). From the original 21 tenants, it has grown to currently 70, with 10 of those being part of the original 21.
There are 33 SM Foodcourts. The first one was located in SM Makati (a.k.a. the bridge between the MRT and Glorietta).
