Cheap Cafes Open Doors for Low Income Urban Peruvians
Cheap access changes everything- it definitely seems that way in Urban Peru, where the presence of cheap internet cafes called cabinas publicas have given proportionally higher access to low income individuals than many other developing nations.
A majority of urban Peruvians, who have low incomes, go online at internet cafés (in chart below 87 percent with low income, as opposed to 75 percent with middle income and 53 percent with high income). The cabinas publicas make it possible for many Peruvians to go online in an inexpensive way. Those with high incomes have greater access to the internet at home or at work.
