By offering Voip (Voice Over Internet Protocol) Services for both residential and international calling, Internet Cafes have another opportunity to increase profits. Voip, essentially refers to telephone calling over the internet and can potentially increase your revenue by attracting new customers, and providing low international calling rates.

When your company implements Voip to the public, you get a number of benefits:

Security
Billing Control
Telemonitoring
Toll Free Solutions
Remote Access
24/7 Live Support

The graduation of the Cyber Cafe to include "Voip Cafe",  is a business certainty. A survey by Informationweek.com in July of 2006, showed 39% of companies have implemented voice over IP, and another 33% will be utilizing it in coming months. In this survey, only 12% indicated they had no plans to use Voip.  Reasons for the implementation of Voip varied, but two-thirds indicated lower costs as their number one incentive and 41% indicated they were interested in providing a one-stop communication platform in their business. The Cyber Cafe is a typical example of a service providing one-stop communication solutions for the consumer: Have a coffee, call your cousin overseas, and work online.

Whatever the many reasons, Voip usage by the home owner and business owner is inevitable. Like anything new, there's a reluctance to take the plunge, however critical mass is a given. In the very near future, it is believed that most business calls will be made using voip.
