Controversies are surrounding it as we speak. It will quite possibly be the last auction of such in a very long time, thus major players are scrambling for a bigger piece of the pie.

At that time the telcos and the government were not very forward looking about the Internet at all ... South Korea was already about at the speeds they are today, so this had been a tremendous move forward for Japan, in 8 year's time. @ Vern, yes, it's true, the US average speed sucks .. it's better than the Philippines, perhaps, but lags far, far behind many other countries ... much of the US infrastructure is owned/run by cable TV companies and their Internet service is just a necessary evil to them and their business model is built upon "provide the customer with the absolute least". HBO is much more profitable than ISP service, so that's where the money is spent.

I remember the time I asked my friends in the US about their connection speed there - said it was much faster, considerably much faster than in the Philippines (they have visited the Philippines more than 5 times already). But wooooh! Look at Japan's lead. IT IS a big spread! Awesome! AnitoKid at www.anitokid.blogspot.com Wow!

That's because the data center your favorite site is hosted in might be in a different metro area, with some fiber in between. Plus, the US Internet infra is quite complex compared to Japan/SK which are dominated by a few monster telcos. To add to Vern… even US metro areas aren’t that fast.

Comparing it to the US where the population is spread throughout and with a much larger landmass is a pretty stupid comparison. I personally get 20mbit, that is common where I live, whereas someone living just 50 miles away from me, 1.5mbit may be standard. Compare these speeds with US metropolitan areas and I'm sure the numbers will be up to par.
