“Ivan Meetin, 28, has opened nine Clockface Cafes in Russia and Ukraine. He calls his entrepreneurial experiment “the social network in real life.”
“You pay two rubles a minute for the first hour — slightly less than $4 an hour — and then one ruble per minute for the time beyond that. Any time after five hours is free — so you can never spend more than about $12 per person.”
