    What you dont consider is that this kind of bandwith exists only virually.
    Yeah, you say thats you are the only on in your street using that fibre.
    But how many in your town? How many in your district? use that service?
    The total international interconnectivity of japan combined couldnt sustain even thousand of those kind of connections anyway. And while internal routing might be less tight, but the end result (when broadly available) will be the same as in hong-kong: your fancy ultra speed "internet" is nothing more than a fast intranet with undersized internet connection.

    They donated a fast mirror to Sun Freeware, which makes all of us Sun jockey's breathe a little easier.
