Thanks for the mention Kirsten…this could have legs…Microsoft created a certification course just for delivery via Indian internet cafes!

I had a friend in China tell me that internet cafes there were a bit grim…but that doesn't mean there aren't some nice ones or ones that could be created for solely educational purposes.

There is an Australian English company who have a deal with the biggest Phillippino internet cafe chain. They hook up learners with teachers online.

70% of 16-24 year old Indians only access the internet in web cafes, even if they have a family PC, because they want to do their own things an spend some quality time online.

But to get scale you need the right course materials

Talked to an Internet owner. He thought I had lost my marbles at first. Then he through it might be a way to throw the government off the scent (government here aren't high on Internet cafes/teenage hangouts). Might throw them a curve, so to speak. Then he wanted to know how much he could make if he dedicated 20 seats to this project M-F during the summer when kids were out of school. Oops, the conversation got no further. These guys get to the bottom line real fast.

Ha-ha, I guess we have different notions of what is revolutionary. But if you could change a place that as seen as a high-school/college hangout (in most 1st and 2nd tier big cities in China) to a place where people would take class, yes, that borders on revolutionary.

Thanks Phil. One of the WiZiQ offices is located in Chandigarh with about 1 million inhabitants and according to Wikipedia at least one of the richest cities in India. As I said, I would simply go out and talk to the owners.
If you do a Google search with Chandigarh Internet Café you already get a nice map where you can see the density of Cafés in the city center.
