FAP would be soooooo cruel. You would reach it in less than 30 minutes....lol. Still, this just goes to show how a lot of people are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to this type of service in America. |

We will see if it will work any better than Wildblue or Hughesnet...... |

I hope someday soon we will see speeds like that in the USA! |

| Wow...
That's really impressive, especially for satellite... though, 155/6 has to be among the least symmetric plans out there.
Though, I notice this is JAXA, a Japanese government agency, behind the proposal... cue the "free market" people, I guess. |

| Pricing would be retarded
It wouldn't matter if we did have it here in the U.S.. Somehow a damn oil refinery will have a light bulb go out and it would sky rocket the prices of the satellite access.. Don't ask me how, but the lame ass excuse's company's come up with to restrict and bump up fees is nearly insane...No.. No it is insane!! |

Only on speeds. On ping time (which you need for doing anything fun), it makes dialup look glorious. |

Re: Wow...
155mbps is great......but really when your talking 1200 - 1400ms of latency does it really matter?
I'd rather have better latency then speed..........without good latency you really have nothing. |

| Yeah but
How many connections can run 155 Mb and 1.2 Gb before the bird is saturated and no one gets that any more? Only so much data will fit through a radio link that has limited licensed radio bandwidth ... it's not like it's tethered by fiber or something.

Re: Wow...
Maybe there is Japanese Self-Defense Force interest in this satellite? Having broadband available even after a major earthquake could be useful to more than just the general public. |

Re: Wow...
Actually I'd like to see this as a way to deliver large content where latency is not an issue. If we could work out QOS methods where downloads and such were put on high latency paths then more interactive content could be handled on the low latency paths. |

Well it depends on what you're doing- if you're just viewing webpages and downloading files latency isn't a huge issue, but when you get into real-time things it does become one... hm, isn't online gaming very popular in Japan? That would probably injure this product. |

I haven't seen any mention of the total capacity of this satellite. It's not so impressive if each of those 155Mbps to 1.2Gbps links are all sharing the same 1.2Gbps maximum capacity. |

It can be if the satellite is tied to the earth through centripetal force. |

Re: Wow...
Holy cow! Wow is right. In one hand I'm wishing we had something like this in the USA and... well, you know in the other. I wonder which will fill up first. 
Something like this could make living in the sticks a whole new ballgame. 
If we did get something like this and it worked, especially if they could improve the latency issues, maybe there would be mass switching of service practically overnight. Then again maybe not because you'd likely have to sell your soul and a kidney to afford it.
