It's probably too late now, but the proponants are enthusiastic and there is much contributed stuff that various internet cafe's have given. http://www.ltsp.org A point worth considering: how do you handle RJ45 customers. That seems to be a major business need. EG my daughter was in Brazil. She used her laptop to vpn home to play with her web page and fetch her mail securely, do skype to mommy, etc. Every cafe, even high in remote Andian villeges!, had RJ45s.
