more cool African site are on the way from us

So how will check if everything is ok or not, I talking about computer status, hardware, internet sales and trafic. Then you have think about virus

For virus you should have F-secure antivirus (the problem is it will make your net little slow all good antivirus does that, as the scan all the trafic). YOU MUST HAVE ANTIVIRUS because if you get a bad virus you could be down for long time.
Its not only for virus its for stoping people trying to access you net with you knowning it.

Have a nice weekend

Nigeria songs wanted for the website www.weekradio.com instert you best songs and create your own radio.

Not to put anybody down but most of our African sites sucks really bad.

That why we (My own company) have started to creat some high class site for Africans.

this is how a site should look www.invandraren.com

More site is comming soon

How many computer will you have there. Someone said some thing about security that is good to think about.
But for you I dont think that it should be your Prio1 so the cost doesnt get too high. its ok if you use a good firewall.

What kind of operative system will you use? windows or something else?
Get a free linux if you know how it works then you dont need license. And linux have really good security.

On other question will you be there and manage the Internet cafe? if no how will you check all the sales?
If you need questions on those things let me know.

It doesnt need to be about the demand. Think like this he do the internet cafe in the village more people will learn how to use a computer and internet, do you know what can do on a village?, imagine if only 20% of village in africa had internet.

You would have total new market for things and communication. I am sure that he will make money at the end.

knowledge gives money.

the only thing He needs is a good deal with IPS (INTERNET PROVIDER), Maybe VSAT Solution.

Oooh yes I forgot before. You have to put skype on your internet this will make people in the village to connect with people outside even sell stuff maybe.

can I ask how big is your village? then I give you some other tips if you want.
