I travelled for 7 weeks around Europe and it was quite a struggle to find Internet cafe's. Wifi hotspots are common but it was rarely conveniet to find an Internet cafe. It was also a bit of struggle to use European keyboards that swap the Z and Y keys. You use those letters more than you think! We also found more than one hotel that offered an Internet connection using an old PC and browser which typically aren't supported anymore.
But in Kuala Lumpur its a different story and I suspect much of Asia is the same. Internet cafe's are still...
We rented an apartment in Paris for a week and it came with a Freebox. I did a double take when the lettings agent mentioned that we could make international calls for free. Really? And it was true. I called Canada and no bill ever turned up for it. It can even do HD TV and digital radio. Superb. Wish we had them in the UK.
