This 32-page report presents the reader with facts on public internet access terminal business (PIAT) using real life experience. A number of business opportunity sellers offer PIAT products as a lucrative opportunity. Not all (or most) of such opportunities may not be that lucrative in reality. Many PIAT problems can be uncovered by closer look at the opportunity and by actually going into the business. The report provides a potential public internet access operator with valuable information uncovering real PIAT facts and helping avoid many errors. The reader will be able to estimate the actual costs of going into business. PIAT sellers often omit a significant portion of the costs. Some of them also have unethical selling tactic. The report helps one to spot such tactic. In the end of this document two public internet access terminal case studies with sales reports are included. The report is written from a neutral point of view. The author does not benefit from whether the reader goes into the business or does not. No particular manufacturer or business opportunity seller is promoted.
