Tp168,

A lot of the "Internet Cafes" in the South Bay have closed or changed
to a more traditional coffee shop or restaurant business-model.  It
seems that the latest trend is setting up wireless networking so that
a user may bring in his or her own laptop and have internet access on
their own machine.  I did find a couple of places that have quite a
few terminals with high-speed access, but neither of them is open at
9am.  If you are willing to consider bringing in your own machine(s)
you may have more options.

Finding internet cafes in Mtn View is relatively easy; the tough part
is finding one that meets all of your criteria.

Global Village Cafe has high speed and wireless access, but does not
open until 11:30 am. See
http://www.globalvillagecafe.com/webservices.htm

Mountain View City Cyber Cafe opens early, but has only three
terminals. A warning - their web site at http://www.mvccc.com is not
yet active. See: http://www.smartpages.com/cityguides/ca/silicon_valley/to_do3.jhtml

Good luck!

Rays,

I spoke to Global Village on the phone - the person who answered said
that they had gotten rid of the internet access side of their
business.  Similarly, the phone number listed for Mountain View City
Cyber Cafe now goes to a different (non-internet) business.  I believe
they may have closed up shop.

Regards,
Cindy
