Free Computer + Internet Terminals
 

Researching low cost business ideas, I came across this idea! I figure since a lot of people on sowpub seem to like advertising businesses, I would post it here!

Simply setup computer terminals in high-traffic areas such as in malls or whatever, and sell advertising to the other near by businesses. This is just an idea I came across, you can put the rest of the pieces together!

waynerhoton,


Actually high end hotels already do this. When I was in Orlando back in January I saw what looked like kiosks with monitors. When you walk up to them it is actually a computer terminal and it's only function is to allow Internet access.

You insert your credit card or room card key and you are then billed for the amount of time you surf the net.

What was funnier is all the people sitting in the lobby with laptops getting free WiFi and others standing at the terminals paying for access.
