wot da ..., high speed internet satellite!

We usually get these annoying telesales phonecalls in the weekend asking us to switch from ADSL to the speedier fiber-optic internet transmission. Tapos heto na, Japan has sucessfully launched its high-speed internet satellite. Hmmm, that means there will be a huge wave of new hardware and software for this kind of transmission.

I am sticking to ADSL, and would not be bothered to upgrade to fiber-optic, but satellite transmission sounds soooo interesting. According to yahoo news, "The agency said it hoped to enable data transmission of up to 1.2 gigabytes per second at a low cost across Japan and in 19 different places in Southeast Asia."
