I don't think it'll last.
Too much competition from the nearby Coffee Leaf & Tea Bean.

Last week I went to Vegas for a three day visit that turned into a full week at my friend's internet-free home. Luckily, I rooted my Android phone and made it into a wifi hotspot without needing to pay AT&T their bogus tethering fee. That worked surprisingly well. I had my cell phone feeding music to the stereo via Pandora, while simultaneously feeding my tablet (MS Surface) internet via the wifi. The signal was strong all though the house and the music plus online video all streamed through smoothly with no buffering. I was blown away. 4G LTE is amazing. Of course, I blew through my 3 gigs of "unlimited" data in no time, but still at $10 each additional Gig, and a gig lasting a couple days, it was well worth it. I could get music, and be on my work computer in another state via Log Me In, and watch videos on how to remodel a bathroom all at the same time, and my Galaxy II phone is 2 years old. Incredible times we live in.
This, while temporarily funny, is shitty.

Use their intellectual property? To make money?
I hope they get their asses handed to them in court.
A breath of fresh air.
People are pretty dumb, y'know,...
