With most people having internet at home,cybercafes may not be that much of a rage anymore.Just a decade ago,cyber cafe's were new and welcomed hundreds-thousands of people who just were getting the hang of the web.Initially,the cost of surfing was Rs. 75 to 80 per hour which came down to Rs.10,thanks to a number of cyber cafes mushrooming in every neighbourhood.There are few other cafes which claim to be the India's first as they were opened around the same time.But the general assumption is that the Cafe Coffee day outlet on Brigade Road was India's first cyber cafe!It opened in 1996 as an internet cafe while also selling varieties of their now famous coffee.
That's not all, a few more cyber firsts in the country:
- the same Cafe Coffee day chain has brought in India's first wireless cyber cafe in Blore(around 2003).
- first cyber crime police station in 2001,Blore.Click here for their offcial website.
