Web terminals go online in Irish pubs.

Two entrepreneurs who want to get all Ireland's pubs online
have joined forces with BT subsidiary, Ocean, to kick-start
the scheme.
The e-pub offering from EuroWeb, Ocean and kiosk supplier,
NetNotes, won't be announced formally until the end of
November, but EuroWeb co-director, Dan Herlihy, told
Silicon.com that Ireland's national pub association, the
Vintners' Federation of Ireland (VFI), has already
signed-up.
"The intention is to put a public access Internet unit into
every pub in Ireland within the next twelve to eighteen
months," he said. "We're targeting about 4,000 pubs in the
next six months that have already been identified - and
we've got the full buy-in from the VFI."
Ocean will offer, on average, a 30 percent discount on
calls, as well as free email and a Web presence to each
publican.
Herlihy said the terminals would offer punters services
that they would normally have to leave the pub for - such
as betting on horses and retail promotions. They would also
provide free communications between the VFI and individual
publicans.
The NetNotes terminals will offer a dial-up connection to
email and the Internet, operated by phone cards. "It's a
free service and installation for the publican," continued
Herlihy. "After that, he's reliant on a combination of both
cards that he can sell from behind the bar and publicly
available sponsored cards from major advertisers. And, of
course, he'll sell more beer."
But the concept is not yet proven. Denis O'Brien, CEO of
Ocean's main rival, ESAT, commented: "I could be totally
wrong but in Ireland anyway people go into the pub with
their friends to have a pint and a drink, a bit of a laugh,
and tell stories and such. I don't think they will buy a
pint and sit at a terminal and actually use the Internet."
If e-pubs works in Ireland, EuroWeb plans to expand into
the UK from January.
