Internet service centers are abounding in Santo Domingo and free Wi-Fi is widely available. According to El Caribe, Internet services are gravitating towards the areas where there is a high concentration of university students. Just around the UASD there are more than 50 Internet facilities. Some former call centers are now offering just Internet service, since the Internet "is the way ahead." Costs average RD$30 pesos per hour of use. The services offer video-chat facilities for the same price, as well as snacks, soft drinks and photocopying services. However, with pockets getting emptier each day, at least thirty businesses, 10 shopping centers and six universities are now offering free Wi-Fi service, including the Hard Rock Cafe, the Diamond Mall, some branches of the Pizzarelli chain, Sheherazade, La Bricciola, El Patio, La Trattoria, Palmito Gourmet, Costelao, Don Nacho, Sophias, Haagen Daz Cafe, Bob's, Cafe Cuesta, Tony Roma's, Fridays, Boga Boga and El Agave. There is also free Internet access at the Ministry of Youth, in Plaza Central, Acropolis, Bella Vista Mall, Fellini, Mitre, Pepperoni, Green Light Cuisine, and in the PUCMM, UCSD, UASD, Apec, INIBE and Intec universities.
