CCAOI's Achieves Milestone towards Cyber Security & Surveillance for Cyber Cafés & CSCs
Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Monday, May 10, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- All corridors of the Govt. are talking about Internet Penetration & growth of the rural Bharat, it is possible thru access to internet which shall be instrumental for the next big steps in Education, e-Commerce & e-Governance. For making the India story moving truly towards Bharat Nirman, it shall come at a cost; the cost shall be our preparedness for Security & Surveillance which shall be the roots for the growth we are envisaging with the India Shining story.
CCAOI along with Connect9 & Airlink Wireless has taken the first step towards making this cost user friendly, affordable & reality. Understanding the requirements of the IT Act 2000 and the hardships & concerns our small businessmen face almost on daily basis, whether due to lack of knowledge or clarity.
We all are aware of the threat posed by "Cyber Terrorism" and steps being taken by Govt. to help curb terrorism to the hilt but one of the major challenges remains, to authenticate Internet access & connect a piece of communication to its rightful owner. While everybody has started collecting proofs of residence and photo IDs before allowing Internet access, requirement of ease associated with centrally authenticated credentials and availability of Internet usage data at a central location, was always desired.
CCAOI Director, Amrita Choudhury promised at the start of this year: We are sincerely working over the ecosystem where every bit comes to us as free - such as security, as also café management software's, near to zero cost bandwidth, free language fonts, free legal advice and free access to one standardized e-Commerce and e-Governance portal... We promised...We deliver!!!
CCOAI (Cyber Cafe Association of India) in association with Connect9 & Airlink Wireless, has come up with a solution that shall finally ease the lives of cyber cafe owners, apart from being compliant to the recommendations provided by the Govt., towards Cyber Security & Surveillance by providing a Unique Identification (UI) to all cyber cafe customers & secured authentication and all this FREE with negligible monthly Maintenance Charges. Using this UI, any person will be able to use cyber cafes all over the country, without having to prove his/her identity, every time. This shall help cybercafé owners to adhere to the government norms for tracking the details of every user, in an efficient & cost effective manner.
"Café surveillance has been till now been a major challenge for our Cybercafé Members across the country. This solution we feel shall finally ease the lives of the cyber cafe entrepreneurs and help them adhere to the government norms" says Amrita Choudhury, Director CCAOI. The Cyber Café Association of India (CCAOI) is a body representing the ecosystem of Cybercafés in India and is responsible for bringing to the forefront and voicing the issues of these entrepreneurs and works closely with the Government, Regulators, Police & Policy Makers.

Airlink is the leading provider of secure Wi-Fi products and services in India and South Asia.

Connect9 is the front ending arm for CCAOI, which shall be instrumental in providing all member Cybercafés of CCAOI to become as 'one stop service centres' for e-Commerce & e-Governance.
