The Internet Cafe Concept For Nepal

I would appreciate it if those with some knowledge/experience with the internet cafe concept would come forth and share. What is the idea? How feasible has it been in various parts of Nepal? What rates get charged? What is the profit margin in the business? How rapid has been the expansion? Which are some of the big names in some of the towns in Nepal? Anyone?
