The cyber cafe staff plays an vital role for controlling the underage youth. Nowadays , a standard cyber cafe will not allow customer to smoke or drink(alcoholic drinks) at the cafe.But if the government are trying to ban gaming activities, sure cyber cafe will forced into bankruptcy.
yeah .. if cyber cafe happen to be banned from gaming .. i dunno y thr is a reason for youngster go thr .. just for msn or browsing website is reli weird n for them is wasting money :)
ya, now a day only few people will go to cyber cafe for the purpose of simply searching for information.They are more prefer on group gaming such as Dota, etc.
However, the purpose for the government to set such rules actually is to control over the playful youngster, indeed,i think this is a good way.
