>EasyEverything closes Amsterdam internet cafes
>The website of the Automatiseringgids states that EasyEverything wants to sell various internet cafes in Europe. In addition to the branches in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Munich and Madrid, this also includes the two branches in Amsterdam.
>The company of the Greek Stelios Haji-Ionnaou, who is also the founder of EasyJet and EasyRentaCar, is looking for franchisees who want to take over the internet cafes. The reason for getting rid of the internet cafes is the economic recession. EasyEverything will keep its offices in London, New York and Paris.

>EasyEverything closes, a normal result of their policy. Own fault, big bump
>The Antwerp EasyEverything is also closed. In the past, the cyber cafe was opened in Antwerp. One could always surf 4 hours for 50bef (at night even 5 hours with 50bef), the CHEAPEST method in Belgium to surf. snail modem 56k costs 45+bef per hour. So the cybercafe is ALWAYS FULL. One could 24/24 NAPSTER and burn CDs for 50bef. So for 100bef (download 5 hours + burn your CD's) you have an illegal CD. At night many young people come to surf and party, later they start throwing TFT screens, mice and keyboards were also good projectiles.
>Some months later. Complete ban on MP3, NAPSTER and music CD burning. Napster was blocked by firewalls. CD burning costs 200bef excluding disc. Surfing costs 50beef for half an hour. Everyone MUST have an identity card copied and registered. Then the cyber cafe empties. Then bankrupt...
>Economy has NOTHING to do with the business, only their KUT policy, as long as you stay cheap and illegal then it goes very well.
>What do you expect when you INCREASE PRICE 10x and DOWNLOAD RESTRICTIONS.
>}:O running is not possible, if you log off then those computers will do AUTO-RESET, then download a hard disk image from the server.
