		<description><![CDATA[The Epson ink tank or CISS units are aimed at price-sensitive markets such as the Philippines, Indonesia and India. Unlike those bought in refilling stations, Epson ink tank printers use the company’s proprietary Micro Piezo technology that assures high quality prints. For these reasons, i-café owners who have tried CISS and/or currently using the technology now have the choice to shift to Epson ink tank printers.]]></description>

Aside from the good price that he can give because of his part sourcing advantage, his after-sales service availability will do well in his getting the order. The experience he has in maintaining his i-cafe units in A-1 condition will greatly help in showing his competence to sell and service the personal computers that his customers will buy from him.]]></description>

Depending on the popularity of the games installed on his computers, he can earn 10 to 15% of the amount of prepaid game credits sold to his customers. Game tournaments and other promotional gimmicks can be resorted to in order to sustain the customers' patronage of a gaming i-café.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The EICAR virus test is a harmless text file that is detected as a virus by most anti-virus software. It can be used to verify if a local virus scanner is working, check to see if an email server scans for viruses, and test if scanners detect viruses inside archives. For an i-café, the virus test can be used to check if the virus scanner installed in a workstation is working and here’s how simple it is to do:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With millions of Filipinos working abroad in order to support families that they left behind in the country and thousands more needing to transfer money from city to provinces and vice-versa, cash remittance is really big business here in the Philippines. The big bulk of the money transfer business are being served by domestic banks and specialized multi-national companies like Western Union, Money Gram and some local companies. They have branches in different locations in the country but there are still areas that are unserved or underserved at present.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of our new government's effort to facilitate faster and easier registration of single-owned businesses in the country, the Department of Trade and Industry has recently amended the revised implementing rules and regulations of the Business Name Law and came out with a department administrative order (DAO) that gave birth to the Enhanced Business Name Registration System (E-BNRS). The agency issued DAO 10-08 Series of 2010 last September 30, 2010 and had the E-BNRS online registration facility upped last October 6, 2010. The system will handle the registration of the business name (BN) of a person who is at least eighteen (18) years old, doing business or proposing to do business in the Philippines under a BN and who is not disqualified by any existing law or regulation to engage in business.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Online sales of prepaid credits or the more commonly known "online loading" is one business model that many existing i-cafés are already offering not only to their customers but to the general public as well. As the name implies, the sales transaction is done online or over an Internet connection which all i-cafés already have. Online loading is one business model that an i-cafe owner must have to augment his computer rental business. The percentage income on sales transactions using online loading system may vary from a low of five (5%) percent to as high as twelve (12%) percent depending on the distributor and the product sold.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filtering the Internet for adult pornographic contents is not an issue among majority of i-café owners. Almost everyone agrees that pornographic sites must be filtered to prevent both young and old customers from viewing them. Many local government units have ordinances requiring i-café owners to install filters that will block those unwanted sites aside from mandating the to have posters around the shop announcing the prohibition. The recently approved implementing rules and regulations of The Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 has the same prohibition among its many provisions. From a moral standpoint and whether the law is getting implemented or not in his locality, an i-café owner must install filtering software to avoid websites with adult content from getting viewed by his customers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our article about the local tax of an i-café, the use of presumptive income level (PIL) as the basis for computing the local tax of a business was mentioned. We defined PIL as the estimated figure or an intelligent guess of how much revenue does a certain kind of business make in a year. An estimated income figure is used by a local government unit (LGU) especially when actual receipts are not issued in some sales transactions of the establishment. This practice is usually applied by LGUs on businesses in public markets, beauty parlors, etc. including i-cafés.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an article about the licensed Microsoft Operating Systems (MS OSes) that can be legally used in the operation of an i-café. The issue of which MS OSes are valid for i-café use came out when the Microsoft I-Café Program was launched in the last week of January 2010. The program is aimed at legalizing the existing pirated operating systems and productivity suite being used by i-cafés. Windows 7 Professional and MS Office 2007 are offered under the program so clarification on the issue of using genuine XP Home OS in i-cafés cropped-up.]]></description>
