| 628641 | 2008-01-13 07:35:00 | Yesterday's news from Australia - www.theaustralian.news.com.au If internet cafes are too dear then maybe travellers will use their cellphones and other devices to connect to the internet ! One million users can't be wrong (even if they're Aussies !!!) Misty :rolleyes: |

| 628642 | 2008-01-13 23:03:00 | I just spend 2½ weeks travelling Christchurch, across to the West coast, Wanaka, Queenstown, Te-Anau, Cromwell, Tekapo . Great Trip, Great Weather . I had a laptop with me and was more relying on Wireless than Internet Cafe's, but did see a lot of them around . When ever I looked in they were always busy . The best one I saw had to be Twizel . Washing Machines, Showers, Lockers, Internet, Cafe, Photos to CD, all things the person on the move on a budget might want I thought it catered very well indeed . HQWiFi was a good wife in Queenstown and Wanaka, but some of the other places i stayed offered some weird and wonderful WiFi mainly slow from any part of the world . Our Cromwell motel had a huge sign offering Broadband, that turned out to be an ISP Based in Texas and all pricing was in US$ which did not impress me . WiFI was costing me about an average of NZ$6 per hour and sometimes the cards with Login/Password to access it did not allow for logoff and log back on so you lost what you had left . I had a Vodafone GRPS card and struck a couple of places that had no reception and not as cheap as the WiFi I was getting . All in all good holiday but maybe I should have just relied on Internet Cafe's instead of hauling the laptop around . |

| 628644 | 2008-01-18 06:27:00 | Just FYI. I was in a comp shop recently and they had a couple net computers. I asked about the deal and they said $1 for 5-10 mins or $8 an hour. The reasoning was that most peeps want to check their emails maybe send one or two this fits into the first pricing the $8 an hour was to deter young people/kids from hanging out on bebo and sneaking in a bit of porn, whatever - not the target audience and anyway the two-net-comp operation was run as more of a service and promo thing than a money spinner. As for the question of "How do net cafes make a living" well I have seen a lot close down. Now with PDAs maybe they better start thinking of some other living.:2cents: |
