A review on post on Legal from My E-Commerce blog.

Cyber cafe or also known as internet cafe is a place where one can use a computer with internet access. Most of these cafes are for a fee either charge per hour or minute.

Based on the post, it is said that there will be new rules that will be imposed on cyber cafes soon. This might be for the good of user but it will also directly affect the business of the cyber cafes. For example on the rule that cyber cafe have to be close by midnight daily, as there will be user that like to go to the cyber cafe for a gaming experience over the night. This rule might be good as it will discourage those people from going out over the night often.

As for the rule of only allowed to operate from the ground floor is unnecessary as some shop spaces is rather small so the cyber cafe will extend to the second floor for their business. If the government thinks that there are illegal activities such as producing pirated cd, the act can also be done in another room in the ground floor when the owner of the cyber cafe design it the way he or she wanted.

In the prohibition from providing gaming activities, gambling, pornography, music and publications with negative element. Normally cyber cafe have already impose the rule on visiting pornography website cause there is a high risk of virus and destroying the server in the cafe. The majority of people visiting cyber cafe is for gaming activities as it is not easy to play with your friends online due to the unstable connection. If gaming activities is prohibited, the cyber cafe is might as well just close the shop. If cyber cafe is mainly for web browsing purposes, users might as well go to places with free wi-fi services such as starbucks or coffee bean where no fees are charged.

Therefore, the government must think twice and do more analysis to figure out which rule that is suppose to be impose and which is to be remain.
