Internet Cafes' Phone Service Fills a Void

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras -- With their simple wooden desks and glowing computer screens, the Internet cafes in this capital city look much like those popping up around the rest of the world, except practically no one's typing. They're all talking.

A few inches from the door of the Multinet Cybercafe, a woman in sandals is gossiping about some acquaintances into a black phone-like receiver connected by a cord to the back of a machine. Across from her, a man is inquiring about a job. H e r m a n Mejilla, an accountant, is chatting with his fiancee in New Jersey, asking how her university studies are going.

"Te extraño," he says. I miss you. In Latin America and other developing areas, Internet cafes have become this generation's equivalent of the telephone booth. The voice transmissions aren't perfect. They are sometimes garbled by static or metallic echoes. Calls occasionally get dropped or don't get through at all.

But the phone cafes have become a lifeline for many Hondurans who often use them to talk to relatives and friends in the United States. In a country where home phone lines are hard to come by, the Internet phones are the only way many can keep in touch.

In Honduras, only about 44 of every 1,000 people had a phone in 1999, the latest year for which figures are available from the World Bank Group's development indicators database. In neighboring Nicaragua, the figure is 30 of every 1,000; in Guatemala, 55; and in El Salvador, 76.

Internet phone service is not only more readily available than normal phone service, it's significantly cheaper, too: 5 to 10 cents a minute, vs. the $1 to $1.50 per minute charged by monopoly telephone providers. In Honduras, where per capita income was about $850 in 2000, it's an obvious bargain.

Phone cafes are concentrated in Latin America but have proliferated worldwide. Few of these businesses are run by corporations. They are mostly mom-and-pop operations.
