India is worst place to open a cyber cafe
Media Release
Jun. 17, 2007


Increasing strictures imposed by government on cyber cafes in the
country compounded by low returns on investment is resulting in the
owners shutting down their operations within three years of
commencement.

"The operators are gripped with fear psychosis due to increased
strictures. For every social ill starting from pornography, terrorism
to adverse web content, the government comes down heavily on cyber
cafes. This has shaken their confidence," Association of Public ICT
Tools Access Provider (APIAP) President Ashish Saboo told.

Moreover, the returns are low in this business. So discouraged
entrepreneurs are shutting shops within three years of starting, Saboo
said.

"We don''t have any control over online content floated across the
world. Nor can we identify a terrorist as 80 per cent of the users are
from within the neighbourhood," he said.
