here in zürich there are countless FREE wifi hotspots in cafés, bars, 
clubs. internet cafés are not so common, and if so, are quite 
expensive. public hotspots are still expensive though, thanks to 
swisscom, orange and sunrise...
i was in bulgaria last month. one hour in an internet café was about 
0.5 euros! the pcs had burners, adsl access... and there are many of 
them. there was even a free wifi hotspot at sofia airport. great when 
your plane is delayed three hours.
