***McDonald's and Intel Debut 802.11 Wireless Access in Manhattan
(March 11)

Selected McDonald's restaurants in New York City will now offer
wireless access, in a pilot program that currently includes 10
McDonald's restaurants in Manhattan. The program is scheduled to
expand to several hundred restaurants in three major U.S. markets
by year's end.

McDonald's Corporation and Intel Corporation today launched a
joint marketing campaign to promote the wireless access, to
coincide with the launch of Intel's Centrino mobile technology
for notebook PCs. The co-marketing agreement between McDonald's
and Intel will include advertising, in-store merchandising and a
signage program that identifies where Intel-verified wireless
Internet zones are located.

For the next three months, wireless-enabled laptop customers in
New York City who purchase an Extra Value Meal at participating
McDonald's restaurants will receive an added benefit -- one hour
of free high-speed wireless Internet access. Customers also can
purchase a single session of up to 60 minutes for $3.00.
McDonald's is offering an open network for all wireless users, so
customers do not have to set up an account.

Intel's Wireless Verification Program includes engineering and
testing of the Intel Centrino mobile technology with network
architecture that supports various wireless access points,
software combinations, hotspot locations, and wireless service
providers to ensure they are all compatible, further enhancing
the consumer's wireless experience.

McDonald's is scheduled to test wireless access in hundreds of
restaurants in New York City, Chicago and a major market in
California by the end of the year.

Current estimates indicate the number of wireless consumers is
growing rapidly, with more than 78 million nationwide today.
