pulling the plug. >> reporter: you know, people do more than just drink coffee at coffee shops. in fact, in some cases, people are actually running businesses. the census bureau reports that about a little over 2,000 people launched single-person day and they are not working from home. many of them are working from coffee shops. now some of those coffee shops are turning off the wi-fi and cutting the juice. >> i run my business out of coffee shops. >> reporter: and greg rosenstein isn't alone. in this struggling economy, the coffee shop has become the new mobile office, or "coffice," as it's now been coined. >> i talk on the phone, he send e-mails, faxes from my computer. stuff that i can do as long as i have internet. >> reporter: but greg is exactly the type of customer some coffee companies are trying to drive out. this blog was the first to report some new york stores are now covering their power outlets in an effort to get computer camping customers to move along. and nationwide, peace coffee pushes them out by limiting wi- fi pass codes to one hour per purchase. it's a trend we first told but last year when independent coffee shops began flipping the switch on wi-fi. >> people are getting so incredibly antisocial. i go into coffee shops and everyone is just sit there is at their laptops and it's creepy. >> reporter: what began as a sort of niche market for coffee afficianados to enjoy a tech free zone has expanded to big corporations considering their bottom line. >> this is a business. so do you whatever it takes to make money. >> reporter: many coffee shop customers understand. limited wi-fi or power policies are intended to turn tables and a profit. >> i have seen people making it their office and not a trace of any kind of purchase on the table. >> reporter: but rosenstein points to the thousands just like him who spend a lot of time and a lot of money in "coffices" like the royal ground which don't limit wi-fi. as for those who do? >> obviously, all they care about is the short term. they won't really develop a relationship with their customers. >> reporter: starbucks hasn't commented but as far as we know those outlet covers are only in new york. and peet's does tell us that its one hour wi-fi limit is to ensure there are tables for all customers. now, these corporate policies are having some unintended consequences on independent coffee shops. one owner tells us that people are bringing their starbucks and their peet's coffee into his coffee shop and using the free wi-fi. >> what about, you know, i wonder if this is going to lead to other restrictions like say if you have a group of people just meeting for coffee and they sit there for hours reading the newspaper and if there is going to be a cap on allowing they can stay there? >> reporter: it's not all about computers. in fact, today i saw a lot of people sitting around just reading books, reading the paper, and in this economy, with so many people out of work, a lot of people are heading to coffee shops to mingle, hang out to pass the time. so i don't know if they will actually restrict other things but they can restrict power and wi-fi for now. >> that's my place to study when i was in college. >> exactly. keep those mochas coming. >> thank you. there are literally millions of them across the country. plenty of course here in california.
