Raw message
One year back I was also interested in online selling and charging
customers. Something happened here in Croatia last year. Government
introduced new law and infrastructure for realization of: every single
cash or credit card transaction in physical shop, which normally
printing invoice for every transaction, bill should be verified with tax
central server, and then printed for customer. It means every single
caffebar had to order internet connection and so called "fiscal cash
machine" (PC or Tablet with appropriate software and certificates).
Well, tax is minor problem by selling internet access. The problem are
numberless cafe bars with "free" internet. It become clear to all cafe
owners that they have to offer free internet for their customers since
they have line already, what they did. Typically they are using some
protection and silly password like "12345". You only need to order your
first drink in cafe or just ask for password.
Beside this, I have noticed trend in EU, free internet ("WiFi" type
only) is spreading more and more. Probably there is more free APs now
then payed ones.
And finally I\ufffdve read one study couple of years ago. It says that there
is no way that anyone who is selling internet "at last mile" would ever
make profit.
There is a lot of money spent on internet infrastructure before AP
point. (Consider AP as last mile), so companies who did that are making
huge profit already. Not you, not me, nor Tim.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with that fact.
I would like to hear more opinions about.
