Internet Kiosks - Stand Alone, Public Access,Pay As You Go Coin Operated Internet Terminals

New Internet Café in WORCESTER
June 2007

As an exciting new venture the proprietors of the largest and newest Internet café in Worcester selected the e-Box coin operated café package because of its simplicity of use and competitive pricing. The facility also offers the sale of major brand telephone accessories.

In total 10 units have been installed and the package included all furniture, P.C.'s, monitors, printers, desks, chairs and software. The Installation took less than one day which allowed for a speedy opening of this much needed local facility.

The modular design of the e-Box range of coin operated Internet Café terminals makes it the ideal choice for almost any environment. From a single unit to fully equipped Internet café installation members of the public simply drop in a coin (normally 50p, £1 or £2) and they are instantly on the Internet for a pre-defined time. During this time they can access email, bank accounts, search engines, play games, buy and sell on auction sites or carry out all the functions they would normally expect from the Internet. One minute before their time runs out a message box pops up inviting them to insert an additional coin to continue. At the end of the session all history files are deleted giving them the confidence that the next user will not be able to access their personal information.

Using the coin-operated approach means that dedicated staff are not required to run the facility. The powerful inbuilt blockers makes the e-Box range of Internet terminals suitable for use by children of all ages.
