The free workshop will discuss how Internet Cafe and Business owners can maximize their existing equipment and infrastructure and earn additional revenue through opportunities to operate as part-time or full-time call centers or legal and medical transcription centers.

Last January 19, Microsoft also held the Visayas Mindanao Internet Cafe Summit in Cebu City, which gathered cafe operators from the Southern Philippines to discuss growth opportunities and other issues such as piracy.

Topics for discussion include an overview of the Microsoft I-Cafe Rental Rights and business opportunities for Internet cafes, school and small offices to be call centers, medical and legal transcription centers.

City Councilor Batapa Sigue will be present at the workshop in show of support for Bacolod's prime environment for development in the IT industry. Mark Delfin, president of the Negros Occidental Internet Cafe Association, will also be available to answer questions.
