Nintendo is expected to announce a cooperation with Wi-Fi provider Wayport to make free Internet access available to Nintendo DS owners at MacDonald's restaurants across the U.S.

The Wayport deal will make playing DS games online at McDonald's a relative breeze, according to Nintendo. When users want to play an online DS game at a Wayport-equipped McDonald's, they simply launch the title in Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mode and they're good to go. There is no further setup required and no fees whatsoever.
