Japanese Internet Access

TOKYO - Americans invented the Internet, but the Japanese are running away
with it.

Broadband service here is eight to 30 times as fast as in the United States
- and considerably cheaper. Japan has the world's fastest Internet
connections, delivering more data at a lower cost than anywhere else, recent
studies show.

Accelerating broadband speed in this country - as well as in South Korea and
much of Europe - is pushing open doors to Internet innovation that are
likely to remain closed for years to come in much of the United States.

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.

Ultra-high-speed applications are being rolled out for low-cost,
high-definition teleconferencing, for telemedicine - which allows urban
doctors to diagnose diseases from a distance - and for advanced
telecommuting to help Japan meet its goal of doubling the number of people
who work from home by 2010.
