Comparing Internet Cafe Rates Worldwide

tcd004 writes "I recently began compiling the hourly rates from Internet cafes around the world into a map. The result reveals wildly different prices, even in countries with similar economic conditions and technological development. This often puts access out of reach for large populations in developing countries who live on less than $1 per day. It seems government policies and telecom deregulation (in countries like Nigeria) are often the strongest forces determining a cafe's hourly rates. If you want to do some of your own rate hunting, take a look at sites like Cybercafes.com."

I guess the point is that if you live in Nigeria and want to go on the internet, you should make a quick trip to Ghana, so you dont spend 5 days worth of wages in 1 hour
