Further thoughts regarding wireless net provision in cafes: Why provide the equipment? Laptops are starting to come with the equipment, and for those without it, you could sell it to them for a tasty profit.

Example:
Our costs
Setup cost = £170 for base station
Running cost = £25 a month

Users costs
24 hour pass = £5
Wireless modem = £50 (we buy at £34) = £16 profit

With one connection per day, and one modem sale a week, minus running cost, you'd get about £190 a month. With the reduced startup cost, that means its paid for itself in LESS THAN A MONTH!

Interesting...
