13.Three months after the government stopped giving or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of safety concerns,some cafe owners are having economy worries of their own.The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway,but for cafe owners it's a business breakdown with no hope in sight.
"I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions."said the businessman Obeham."I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000.When I went to the local government after finishing everything,I was surprised to find that they'd stopped giving permits for Internet cafes."
Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee."I'm avoiding closing the place,but it's been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is,"Obeham said."Who will bear the losses caused by that?"
The decision took many cafe owners by surprise."I asked to open an Internet cafe,and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through,such as a sign for the place,filling out forms."said Hassan Al-Harbi.
"I did all that was asked and rented a place.And after the vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me,saying that there are new rules that forbid the offering of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can't even renew his permit.I've lost more than SR80,000,"Al-harbi added.
As for the government,officials say a method to deal with it is on the way,but safety concerns come before economy.
