Japan will laugh it off the street. Japan has some of the NEATEST stuff
that never leaves the country from their big local corporations....

just a few of the competitors running 3.6Mbps over REAL broadband.

Think the Japanese consumers want to drag along at EDGE speed?

NOT! Many of their devices use the HUGE, MASSIVE wifi networks...not the
crappy SELLphone draggin along. We could have that here if someone would
start shooting SELLphone lobbiests and a few FCC people who work for
"them".

The article said WiFi was not that all common, opposite of any massive
WiFi networks as you put it.
