Fleeting | Re: Their country is smaller Yes, you do need to say more. Since that would indicate we'd at least see serious residential fiber deployments in compressed urban areas like New York City if congestion was the only obstacle. | |

| Re: Their country is smaller said by Minister  :urban areas like New York City if congestion was the only obstacle. It might be more than congestion, it might be that the infrastructure under the streets is hard to access.
Think about it, working under the streets on a massive scale in New York? Just to deliver faster bandwidth to people who already don't know how to utilize it?
Doesn't sound economically sound to me.

| Re: Their country is smaller Uh, do you realize that the depth under NY is almost equal to its height? There is NO problem with working under NY. Besides, feeds would likely be topside.
If anything, it's the mentality of people here. Japan has the understanding that IP communication (and truly converged communication) is the way of the future. These people use video communication as part of life, not a novelty of it.
We're still trying to get over the VoIP hurdle.

These people use video communication as part of life, not a novelty of it. I agree that the mentality of Japan is much different. If NYC was its own country, it would operate much differently as well. As a physically small island nation with a high population density, life itself is much different, and society be run efficient to be productive. | |

| Re: Their country is smaller said by jeffster1970 : Great Britain is similar in area of that of Japan, and a population that is not significantly smaller, yet they are still plugging along at 512kbs. GB's population is more than significantly smaller, like well less than half of that of Japan (60 million in GB to 127 million in Japan). | |

| Actually they have methods to make installing fiber much easier. No need to dig up roads etc. You would also think that the supposed most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Would at least be able to compete with other nations in this regard.
