Ok remember my earlier post about the lucky Grandma with Gigabit Internet in her house, this story is much more annoying unless of course you live in Japan.
It seems Japan has the lead for giving their Internet users what everyone wants. High speed connectivity for the masses.
Here's a annoying excerpt:
"The speed advantage allows the Japanese to watch broadcast-quality, full-screen television over the Internet, an experience that mocks the grainy, wallet-size images Americans endure."
NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp) now offers speeds on fiber of up to 100 megabits per second -- 17 times as fast as the top speed generally available from U.S. cable. About 8.8 million Japanese homes have fiber lines -- roughly nine times the number in the United States.
