Lets Make A Really BIG CyberCafe
from the if-it-doesn't-work-the-first-time... dept
So, someone help me to understand this one. For the most part, cyber cafes in the US have been dismal failures. People just don't seem to have much desire to go out and surf in some cafe with random people. Why then, do some folks suddenly think that making a big cyber cafe will change this? Of course, the big excitement over this huge computer room is that they'll rent Microsoft Apps. That's exciting? Hasn't Kinkos been doing that for ages? Maybe this is why Microsoft is suddenly preventing their employees from accessing the network outside the office. They're trying to drive people to cybercafes to pay for their rental apps.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
