One Peso Internet: PHILIPPINES

PHILIPPINES

A collective of Computer Technicians in Quiapo, Manila

Pisonets are standalone internet kiosks that operate by inserting Php1.00 coins in exchange for 5 minutes of internet use. We observed that most users access their Facebook accounts and watch YouTube videos. Pisonets are made by assembling old cannibalized computer parts, CRT / LCD monitor, a digital coin slot & timer. In a nutshell, these are decentralized internet cafes. The need to have affordable internet to those without a smartphone or a computer.
The solution is for the general public, mostly those in the youth sector. Users usually use the solution to access social media sites and entertainment sites such as YouTube.
This means that access to computers and the internet is still a great challenge for people. Just like the PisoWiFi, this is a basic form of the sharing economy where the poor can have access to a computer and the internet through affordable means.
This solution is the next evolution of the internet cafe and presents how internet cafes can be decentralized by bringing it to the customers. There is widespread acceptance by the general public as the arcade game-type design can easily be mobilized and installed in remote areas where there is no access to computers and the internet.
Impact is apparent and observable
