Shopping in best stores at home

WANT TO shop in best of the stores around the country? Sounds good? Obviously, the thought of getting goods delivered at home sounds pleasing to the ears. And when the choice of ordering the goods without visiting the shops comes along with they being delivered at home, it's bound to make the mundane life more interesting.

In an info era where ideas go stale in minutes, the biggest hurdle for the concept has been limitations like payments only `through' credit cards and affordability of a computer at home. But wait, a unique concept `Enter-Net' launched jointly by Sigma Online, an Internet Service Provider, and Webveda.com, a leading Indian portal, promises to wipe out those shortcomings.

Enter-Net zones will form the single window points for anything and everything on the Net. These zones will be provided with dedicated lines powered by high bandwidth which increases the access speeds multifold thus enhancing the traffic to these zones.

The concept will have noted cyber cafes across the country as partners and 1,000 of them have been identified for the purpose. Many top Internet cafes in the city too will have the facility. So you can just walk into them, browse the world and order whatever you wish. Don't worry if you don't own a credit card, you can pay the money at the identified cyber cafes in cash or through a cheque.

As the Enter-Net will increase the access speeds, the browsing community can have faster access and quick downloads. So, no more those painful waits in front of the computers as you can get the site on the screen at the touch of the key. Now that sounds very pleasing to the ears, ain't it?
