Cyber Crackdown
A major city may soon require Internet cafes to be licensed, keep a log of and videotape their customers, and curtail their business hours.
(Page 2 of 2)
Until the council and the state Legislature attain a basic understanding of the Internet cafe business, they have no place regulating it.
In the meantime, the owners of Internet cafes ought to wake up to the fact that they are not being represented in the current debate and form a trade association.
It's a sad day for an industry when the politicians notice it -- that's the day the industry needs to pay the hidden tax of learning to lobby. It's the homage innovation pays to vice, at least here in Gotham.
