China: No New Cyber Café this year
The Xinhua News Agency in China has revealed that the government has decided to not allow any new cyber café to open in the country.
The news agency reported that 14 government departments, including the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Information Industry has issued a legal notice saying: “in 2007, local governments must not sanction the opening of new Internet bars.”
The country already has around 113,000 Internet cafes. The internet access in the country is highly regulated and this latest news release is just a testimony of the fact that people find it hard to access the internet freely in china.
The government however promotes the usage of internet for education and business. The country however remains the second largest internet market after the United States.
