Japan to Deploy Massive Broadband Satellite

Posted by samzenpus on from the connect-anywhere dept.

demachina writes "Japan has announced plans to deploy a massive broadband satellite operational in 2015. It will provide 100 Mbit/sec service to mountains, remote islands and bullet trains along with comm for disaster recovery. Its giant 66 ft. diameter dish is supposed to be able to receive even weak cell phones signals. Of course, the ping times wont be so good."

    Me thinks this ricer satellite will be like the USSR's Polyus "autonomous scientific space station" which was supposed to "grow precious crystals in space" - using an onboard recoil-less autocannon and two dozen nuclear mine launchers... Thanks heaven it crashed on launch back in 1987.

    The japanese 16ft dish is probably an overhead death ray emitter. They will fry 'Harbour with it and annex the entire Pacific.
