New service on the net
kafevert1.gif - -439690,0 KThis is a completely new service on the net. It's been present since january 1997.

It's going to be a complete index of all the cybercafes in the world. If surfers and cafeowners help us, it will be completed in no time. All we ask is that you mail us a description of your favorite internet café, but remember to include the street address, phonenumer, URL and email-address.

This way internet users that come to your town will know where to find a place to check out their email, favorite webs and discussion groups.

The idea came to the editor when he was travelling in Europe the fall 1996, using hours of valuable time looking for internet cafés. The ones he had checked out before he left home, was not there anymore. So clearly there was need for a guide to internet cafés.

Now that the service is up and running, we look forward to our next trip abroad. With a printed list of cybercafes in our destination countries, we shall get on the net even in the most distance places.

The main street - last summer
Vadsoe is the capital town of Finnmark County, the northernmost and largest county in Norway. In the town of Vadsoe lives 6.000 people, in the county lives 76.000.

But the distances are large. From one end of the county to the other we have to drive 600 kilometers. Vadsoe also is near to the russian border, just north of the city of Murmansk (500.000).

One of the most interesting issues at the moment in our region is the Euro Arctic Barents Region, a multilateral cooperation between Norway, Russia, Finland and Sweden, where the EU also partisipates.
