One Wifi with Cheese, Please

Tim Leffel has posted the results of a recent Wired survey of internet café pricing around the world, as the article is not online. The prices seem to equate, with a few notable exceptions, to how far your dollar goes in a city in general. Places like Lima, Bangkok, or Marrakesh set you back a tiny amount in comparison to the average of $12.80 an hour you might pay in New York City, or even $3.80 an hour in Prague or Budapest.

Of course, the New York City prices are deceiving. If you have a laptop, there's always a T-Mobile hotspot, which is $7 an hour, as well as the myriad free wireless internet connections dotting the city. We've noticed quite a few dive bars and pizza parlors (and even on restaurant on curry row) advertising free wireless access for customers, so it's becoming more common. You need a laptop, which isn't always an option, but wireless and a slice sure sounds informative and delicious to us.
