Everyone has Some sort of data plan on there phones and/or tablets.

Free WiFi / Internet is the norm in most coffee cafe's where the coffee/food are the money makers, the Internet/Free is just a service/draw , most limit "free" to a hour or so, so people don't sit there all day hogging there seat space.

Most hotels have some sort of Limited internet access for guests who are on SAT internet connection, and High speed access if they within reach of a fiber internet backbone of Cable TV lines, or DSL, (Copper with in the reach of fiber connected telco CO)

What transitory population are you planning to serve?

The main problem in Tok would be having a clientele. Yes, during the summer maybe, because of all the people driving through. But come winter, there won't be any.

Now, it would have been different year ago, I imagine

When the place was opened in Fairbanks, one of the baristas I had bought coffee from for a couple of years asked me, "are am going to lose you as a customer to the bikini barista down the road?" I said, "what naked barista are you talking about?" She told me about it, but I never went to it, because once you find a barista who makes a coffee to your liking, that's the one you stick too. Yesterday I went to the one across the Fred Meyer store at University to buy a mango yogurt smoothy, and a new barista there grabbed the straw at the top (the spot where my wife would put her mouth on). I was surprised that she didn't have any sense to know not to put her fingers on that part of the straw. I asked for another straw, and she had no idea why

I know what you mean. When I lived out that way and had to drive through town to get to work every day, I always went to Mocha Dan's on Farmer's Loop. We just got another coffee hut in Fox on the corner at the Fox General Store... it's pretty good. I go there sometimes, but I have to go out of my way to go before work, so...

ARGH!! about the straw. Gross.

My team member from Nevada her office had the account for Rock Star Energy Drink. She thinks that Alaska is very good to incorporate for PC Silicon Valley. Online Internet Cafe for United States Marketplace. We will also make computers and that office can be in Seattle, Washington. So far the towns in Alaska for the Headquarters. Nome, Tok, Skagway, Healy. I will have a mock up web site design this coming July 6. So I can show everyone. Then 45 day's doing the coding work for development of the Interactive web site. I am paying Casperon.com $2,700 for web site. That is a very good price for everything. Threads message board, user profiles, friends lists, and profiles accounts. I will be charging $20 per annual membership with 30 day free trial.

I hope you did not pay them, Your plan will fail, and you will be out the $'s

NO ONE WILL use your you cafe, If its a Portal it will get next to no visits, hence no advertiser hits, - No Money.

It takes years for Site to draw enough traffic to pay the bill, and like 99% of them don't make any money.

Come on, this person is not serious and if you're giving him a serious answer you're just getting your chain yanked. For whatever reason people think this poster is cute but these types of posts can be seriously misleading for others who don't know the deal here.
