Something to show the overly-proud:

Go Japan! Very Happy

Just curious, but what's the fastest connection you can get in Korea these days, and how much does it run?

My ISP in Tokyo provides a 100Megabit fiberoptic connection for about $18(US) a month. Smile

Speaking of the Matrix ...

Japan PC Bangs won't allow you net access until you give them a copy of your PASSPORT.

Just so "THEY" ( i.e the Watchers ) can know where you're going & what you're doing, looking at, who you're sending emails to etc.

Hey, you "could be" Al Quaeda!

No big deal, eh?

This report ONLY mentioned how often people use the internet, NOT connectivity. I still think Korea is the most-connected (i.e "wired") country. They have the infrastructure due to enormous government spending over the past years. However, not all the people necessarily use it. Business Week should really check their headlines, as this is awfully misleading.
