Starbucks Malaysia: free WiFi, but the lattes are spendy

More

Malaysia MapStarbucks (SBUX) has 400 stores in China, including 180 on the mainland. This, along with aggressive growth in Japan, might get the lion's share of attention, but the company also has a strong presence in Malaysia. Local subsidy, Berjaya Starbucks Coffee Co Sdn Bhd, opened its first in-country outlet in 1998 and just recently inaugurated its 69th. And the WiFi, available in some 40+ of the stores, is still free, a real value in a region where the internet is predominately accessed at pay-for-time internet cafes. Though to relatively high cost of Starbucks offerings for the average Malaysian consumer might make the price of that free web access somewhat prohibitive.
