Cybercafes are here to stay!

Gaming in cybercafes will be on the rise for sometime, especially given the rather low broadband speeds we have in Malaysia...I was with some journalist in Bali for an IT event, the one from Singapore said that he is getting 10Mbps (there are faster services in Singapore as well) and the one from Hong Kong had a 15Mbps connection. He Hong Kong journalist also said that PCCW also provides fiber-to-the-home, up to 100Mbps...Me? I was to ashamed to say. Of course, I already knew that we're really behind after covering some international broadband forums before...

Here's a link to a rather obscure story on cybercafes and why they're not afraid about hotspots and braodband to the home: http://autaspace.blogspot.com/2008/04/cybercafes-not-worried-about-hotspots.html
