Cybercafes - A Dying Trend?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday February 10, 2004 @03:45PM from the another-victim-of-the-current-economy dept.

A not-so-anonymous Anonymous Coward asks: "I've been considering opening up a CyberCafe for a while now, and I've been searching the web for cyber cafe websites. I've found several cybercafe databases, but was disappointed to find that a majority of the sites I found were either taken over by register-this-domain pages or hadn't been updated for a couple of years. Another Cyber/Gaming Cafe I found online announced today that they were closing. So are Cyber/Internet/Gaming cafes just another bubble the net will burst, or are they actually worth investing in? Any cafe owners with experience to point one way or the other? Where are the success stories?"

Unless you can find a niche to fill with your Internet cafe...

How about an adult cyber cafe with a T1 connection to each booth? The only difference between this and a regular cyber cafe is you go through more mops.

The T1 is totally obsolete as a unit of "wow that's a lot of bandwidth". It offers 1.5MBps which is often beat by common DSL and cable services.

Yes, but a T1 is 1.5Mbps both ways. DSL is a recipe for unrequited love...
