I believe setting up a cybercafe is more than just having a lot of computer with games and fast internet connection. How about hardware recommendations? Especially in dealing with modem, router, switches...
QUOTE
which is the most reliable one?


The cheapest , they all do almost the same functions , a slight differnce that won't make any change for a small cyber cafe . so just get the cheapest

QUOTE
What about legal matters? Licensing? Operating hours?



No clue ! sad.gif

QUOTE
Software licensing... which online game needs license and which is free to install without the need of paying for license every month? How much is the license for game A? How much is the license for game B?



since when malaysia cyber law cares ? this is KL my friend not Paris . no need to pay just simply download like everybody else is doing


Serious talk only please... hopefully this thread will help those who want to open a cybercafe.
*
* Most of your customers will be Normal users and young people so do not spend a lot on buying the best PCs and all , just get the normal stuff
proccesssor of 2.6 will do
Ram of 2GB will do
Hard drive of 60 GB will do

spend more on the screen and the lighting . also include some fast food thingy , maggi and all ( our Chinese friends love eating while surrfeing the internet ) biggrin.gif


hmmmm what else what else ! aha the location . if your location is not really good, your income will not be enough to even pay your workers


Hope i helped

Jay1985,

There is no cybercafe license. The only license available is "Pusat Komputer Berinternet". So with or without games, you will still need the license.

saigetsu,

Who needs to go cybercafe to use internet these days? We have broadband-on-the-go and it's becoming a hit with students. Cybercafe business is dead.

Yeah, right. Esp nowadays most students have their own laptop, and mostly do register DIGI/MAXIS/CELCOM broadband. Not expensive though. They go to CC mostly for the sake of gaming only.

edyek,

Going to cybercafe for gaming is a thing of the past already. These days with technology, students can even play DOTA online or LAN with their friends in the comfort of their own rooms. When I was living in my hostel, my friends will be networking all their laptops and computers together. There was a central server hosted by one person, and everybody just connect to it. My gosh, that hostel was a HUGE spiderweb if you enter tongue.gif

Hi Jordy, Edyek,

Though this may be true, but we're only looking at people who stays in Hostel or Small Density Apartment/Condo whereby doing an Internal LAN network for gaming/sharing is possible. The market is still open as there are many more people in normal residences area, all the terrace houses and so on who needs to rely solely on the ISP's connection in order to go gaming with their friends online. It is undeniable that Internet Connectivity in our country still remains a big challenge even for smooth gaming for everyone and that's why people still go to CyberCafes.

It will always be the case with if you have Friend A with smooth connection, probably Friend B is having a crap connection in his area. Normal weekdays, spending the time gaming at home with slight obstacle is alright but during the weekend, there will still be a lot of people willing to come out and get together with their friends in Cybercafe for a good laugh/challenge and enjoy the moment.

A friend of mine's BF opens a Cybercafe in Klang and at this moment, he's still getting a good 30k net profit. It could just be that he just boasted it but I'll never know. tongue.gif.

Jordy,

makes me wonder sometimes why we connect to the internet anyway? Like me, though I am connected to the internet via Laptop 8 hours a day but my hectic work left me just connected. The most web I surf is my company mail web. And recently, I signed witm maxis package plan and gave the iPhone 4 to my wife while i utilise the data plan on my HTC HD2 which I am able to surf, read news, check mails, stocks, etc with my PDA while I am waiting for my kopi early in the morning or minutes before going to sleep.... biggrin.gif

maybe LYN soon laugh.gif

Again, like you said, we are venturing to the age akin to surrogate.... trap within the room and engage in virtual society

Biscuit,

I know most of the cybercafes in Klang. Please name me his cybercafe and I will check.

Also, please do not underestimate our internet connection. We might be slow compared to other countries, but most of the time we do get stable connection. 80% of the time my friends play DOTA online, they have no complaints. That was why they stopped going to cybercafe, unless of course it's exam time when they have some time to burn.

Hi Jordy,
For the sake of privacy and continuing our discussion to see whether it's really profitable, I have PM you the name of the Cybercafe. Would be good if you know bout it and could share with us your thoughts.

Thank You.
