Cybercafes, which are places where Internet access is provided for free,
provide the opportunity for people without access to the Internet or who are
traveling to access web mail and instant messages, read newspapers and
explore other resources of the Net. Due to the important role Internet cafes
play in facilitating access to information, there is need for their systems
to have well-installed software in order to ensure smooth service delivery.
A good understanding of security measures and software requirements is a *sine
qua non *for efficient management of cybercafes.
