In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped
Raindeer writes "While the Broadband Bandits of the US are contemplating bandwidth caps between 5 gigabyte and 40 gigabyte per month, the largest telco in Japan has gone ahead and laid down some heavy caps for Japan's broadband addicts. From now on, if you upload more than 30 gigabyte per day, your network connection may be disconnected. Just think of it ... if you're in Japan and want to upload the HD movie you shot of yesterday's wedding, you soon might hit the limit. The downloaders do not face similar problems."
Is the author bemoaning the 900GB CAP or praising it? Where I live, with a 3GB CAP (in total) per month, I truely admire what they have in Japan. Even with the CAP.

Stupid 300 baud
No such thing in Finland. I can upload and download 24/7 without any restrictions, and I've never heard of any ISP enforcing a cap.
Well, yes, if you're uploading daily 5 hour movies of your wedding in HD, then you'll hit your cap. I'm really not sure why you would be uploading that much in movies in such quality, and certainly don't know why you would be doing that on a daily basis, but yes, if that were the case there would be a problem. For the other 99.999% of us, I think 30 gigabytes in a DAY is more than enough.
To provide service to the broadband neglected in the US -- like, for example, allowing the public power districts that already have wires running to the homes do it.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
The next step is figuring out how to upload that much each day.
Thats an insane amount. I can't even vaguely imagine how I would use more than 30 gig a month downloads. And 90% of that is me using the BBC iplayer because I don't own a video player or DVD recorder. Without those, it's probably under 5 gig a month tops, and thats mostly web surfing, the odd youtube vid and multiplayer gaming.
Fuck it, with so many 'triple A' games abandoning the PC, there aren't even any stupidly big demos to download anymore.
Unless you are some kid who thinks he is 'sticking it to the man' by downloading every single hollywood movie in HD (presumably so can watch it whilst snorting about how much it sucks and that the producers business model is flawed) from dodgy torrent sites, I don't see how anyone has any serious need for this.
I'm sure some smug slashdotters will equate this to the 640k quote, but tell me exactly how my need for digital data downloaded to my PC is going to go much higher in the next ten years?
DRM-free indie games for the PC and Mac: Positech Games
I have a 10megabit down, 1.5megabit up at home. This means it would take me 44 hours to upload 30 gigabytes with my 1.5mb/s upload speed.
Perhaps until the backbone in Japan is updated to uncap upload speeds, the right answer would be to throttle bit rates for anyone who has uploaded more than 20 gigabytes in a particular month? You could almost do it by just slowly ramping down rather than cutting people off--and it's a lot less antisocial than just pulling the customer's plug.
Hell, I have an effective 20gigabyte/month upload cap because that's the maximum capacity of my bandwidth; yet until I heard about Japan's bandwidth I wasn't complaining.
As a footnote, the quote of the day at the bottom of my page reads: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes. -- Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS"
Seems appropriate somehow...
Appropos, the caption at the bottom of the Slashdot page is:
"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes."
Perhaps it's time that was updated to "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Japanese broadband account."
What's the attitude of Japanese govt. towards p2p copyrighted material filesharing?
I ask because, you know, 30GB/day aren't that easy fo fill if you eliminate that use of p2p networks. Unless people fall in love with ultra high definition videoconferencing, but I'd stay happily with plain cable if that was all I could do with so much bandwidth.
Now that everyone is being forced to upgrade their SD audio and video equipment to HD, these fascist corporations controlling our communications are imposing data caps.
I say, this was their plan from the beginning to destroy alternative opinion, websites, and news.
HD is NOT in the public interest, when only fascist corporate media will be able to afford to broadcast it.
We have only to look at who controls the FCC.
The web, internet is NOT prepared for the switch from SD to HD.
It won't be long until the outright financial destruction of alternative news sources. It won't be long after that that ALL dissenting voices are silenced.
Japan is a canary in the coal mine. An example. A footnote.
There was a time there when the Mars lander had faster network speeds than I had in my house in a populous region of the USA. Nobody was willing to bring cable or DSL to our town, but the damn lander had a 256K connection.
That clearly shows how bad their Internet infrastructure is compared to the US, where we have *unlimited* accounts!
thegodmovie.com - watch it
Given the situation here in North America, I cannot bring myself to even begin to feel bad for them. The crap we put up with here, it actually makes me GLAD that they are capped like that.
And I can't find the 200MB "fair usage" limit anywhere!
It must be this guy.
In my country (Uruguay), the residential upload capacity varies between 128kbps and 256kbps, that means we have an upload limit between 0.9GB daily and 1.8GB if we consider that only two thirds of the supposed kbps are really available.
As if a 900gb cap wasn't bad enough, those poor fools are paying $46 a month for a weak 100Mbps line!
There is, or at least there very soon will be. With coming HD video, streams will get into the gigabyte range soon enough and not all networks will be able to afford hosting like that. Imagine a small regional network. Maybe they don't have a lot of money behind them, but they can still make very interesting television for the local population, tourists planning a trip there, etc. Without caps the station could simply use a peer-to-peer like system to host their television programs and make do with a relatively low cost connection. But the upload bandwith has to go somewhere: to the viewers. If HD television over the internet kicks off, people will start hitting these limits pretty quickly. Maybe not the next year or so, but still pretty soon, and that could make it hard for small television stations to operate on the internet. HD television is just one example, but there could be all kinds of novel applications for uncapped broadband. Video conferencing? The next generation of MMO's? Remote installation? Who knows? If we will systematically cap broadband, there are a few things we do know: innovation will be hampered, there will be less pressure on the networks to increase bandwith if necessary, and small vendors and providers will get hit harder than large ones.
"Of course, it always helps when you completely rebuild your infrastructure after it being decimated after a war."
Decimation is the loss of ten percent. It is tolerable casualties for a military unit, let alone infrastructure.
Japan was far more devastated, giving it nearly a blank slate on which to rebuild.

"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
What exactly is so interesting about watching the news in HD? Will it make Fox more "fair and balanced?" I could see them trying that though as a marketing ploy. "Watch Fox news in HD, where our views and stories 50% more clear!"
I regularly upload more than 900 GB in a month on a residential connection and I live in the United States. I thought Japan was supposed to be some kind of broadband utopia? I must say, I am disappointed.
Even with the bad infrastructure here in Ireland, I have an uncapped connection. Obviously I can't upload much at 512kbps a second.... Bring on the SDSL!
Good Lord, we should all be so lucky to have a cap that high.
I misred the story.. thats 40 gigs in a day
honestly, if you go through 40 gigs UPLOAD in a day, you've had enough for that day.
VLC FOR MAC IS DYING! IF YOU DEVELOP, PLEASE SAVE IT!!
What is "suck luck" and why do Tennesseans want it?
With my current TWC Road Runner connection, if I ran at max upload speed nonstop for every single second in an entire month, according to my calculations I'd be at almost 1/4 of that limit. That's nuts to even put that kind of limit on it. I don't know what kind of connection they have there but to hit that limit with just 6 hours a day at max speed for 30 days, it'd need to be over 41 megabits up. If you skip a few days or only go to like 3 hours, and you're not talking about multi-target uploads like p2p, the target computer's hard drive can't even write that fast. Gee, why didn't they just say a bajillion gigabyte cap?

Decimation is a loss of 10% when dealing with soldiers. Otherwise it has several other meanings. At this point the use of the word to mean what the GP said is the predominating definition and will be the definition in the future.
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861603101/decimate.html
Not the best source, but I was too lazy to look for something better. Definition 2 would be the most common use of the word.
We pay excessively, the most cost effective broadband plan being 3GB(total usage) Per Month!!! at a whopping R239 (roughly $30) per month excluding the adsl line rental. 4mb being top of the range for residential broadband which would come in at around $60. I can only look at these posts and cry
but, the intention of residential Internet service is mainly to allow people to download content. The ISP's can't afford to support a server site at residential rates, and more residential users can't afford business type service.
For the *few* that want to run true server sites from their residences, go out and buy it. No one is stopping you.
As far as Japan is concerned, isn't the limit around 37m upload rate continuously? The cap has to be targeted at (ab)users who are running server farms. Why is this even news?

Warning is in subject line.
My heart goes out to all those in Tennessee lacking the luck of suck.
That's just completely wrong. Over-the-air stations have to switch to ATSC but there is absolutely no requirement for ANYBODY to switch to HD.
If you are shooting and uploading a wedding video every day, which implies that you probably do that for a living, then I would assume you can afford a professional connection to go along with the professional components of the trade. If you are uploading a wedding video a week, at normal speeds, then there is not issue.
For those us with regular consumer accounts, who are going to upload or download DVD quality video, over speed achievable by mere mortals, we would never notice such a cap.
In any case, this is clearly aimed at the consumer who does not have incredible amounts of original content to upload, but may want to watch movies over the internet. Not an unreasonable compromise. After all, how many of us want to subsidize the professional wedding photographer.

Well, 10 years ago when I got my internet account, it had a 10 gigabyte a month limit.
Seeing how I had a 3 gb harddisk, that sure seemed more then enough.
10 years later I've still got a 12 (yep, +2!) gb limit...
So think twice before you say "hey, that's a lot more then I can use each month!".
That totally ruins my plan for immortality. 900G a month is not nearly enough to upload my consciousness to the net.
What is actually important is that most ISPs have already started to experiment with traffic control, but they don't tell you what their policies are (e.g. what limit they use, what traffic they block and what happens if you reach the limit). OCN is one of the first to come out with an explicitly stated cap.
Could the ISPs be telling the content providers to go jump in the lake?
If you don't like what I write don't be a CS and mod it down. Refute it.
Yea I can't spell. So what is your point?
>Of course, it always helps when you completely rebuild your infrastructure after it being decimated after a war.
There was no cable TV in the US or Japan after the war, it just didn't really exist, apart from maybe the DuMont network. Maybe.
Fibre, of course, came much later.
The 900 GB limit is, obviously, not for phone connections, considering it's impossible to upload 30 GB/day through ADSL-2+. It's for fibre, maybe cable (although I doubt that very much).
So what's the excuse again? That we simply suck when it comes to doing things the right way? Thought so.
(I suppose you could lame out with "but there's a vast population density difference". Puhhhhhleeeez. If that were the case, the most densely populated cities in the US would be competing with this technology. I don't hear of anyone with 40 mbits to the home in NY, NY, do you?)
Most impressive, I say I live in a small town near São Paulo, where Telefonica has complete monopoly over a laughable broadband. http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/informatica/ult124u419329.shtml I wish i still had a modem sitting around sometimes.
This has nothing to do with piracy. It is an attempt to shut down non-corporate users from creating and distributing IP.

Sigh!, and all I have in the land of sun and sand is a paltry 23mb/s and 150GB cap for US$52/month.
Talk about a new level of disingenious.
You know and I know perfectly well that there's no way in hell you're uploading 900GB per month legally so let's drop the retarded pretenses.
Dear USA,
Please upgrade your networks so we can max out our 100Mbps fibre bandwidth, and download things quicker from you.
Love,
Japan
In New Zealand, I enjoy a 20gb bandwith limit (upload + download combined). And my max d/l is about 500kb-600kb/sec.
How I can't wait to move :)
You n00b! Look for the programs to reverse the mosaics! They use reversible mosaic censorship for a reason...
Before? :)
Help poke pirates in the eyepatch, arr.
... the article was "How many people will take this as it appears instead of thinking for three seconds?"
It's a punch at the US infrastructure.
I'm on a 5Gig a month plan, and it seems to suit quite well. Mostly because I don't download anything huge, and our speeds are slow as it is.
Hard to imagine a 900G upload. My entire HD is only 120.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
30GB/day = 240,000,000,000 bits / 86400 seconds ~= 2.8Mbps
At the average 40Mbps upstream I get, I could theoretically hit that with just 100 minutes of uploading a day. In fact, I routinely transfer gigabyte-range files to and from the office server, so it's not out of the question for me to break the limit every once in a while. (Then again, I have a business-class connection for my personal server, so I'm not worried.)
If you run the math on the 100/100 Mbit (Japanese) connections in question, these caps are equal to only 3% of a user's upload 24/7. In Comcast's area, that would be 324 MB a day for 6/1 service, or 9.7 GB a month.
These caps are much, much worse for the service offered than Comcast's rumored 250 GB cap or the actual 400+ GB cap they currently use to remove excessive users from their network today.

Actually, I wish Dion would do this--but it would doubtless interfere with their business model of hosting spammers' dating/porno websites. I've been monitoring Japanese spam for a long time, and in terms of hosting the websites, Dion (a subsidiary of KDDI) is clearly the leader--at least for my sample of spam over the last year or two. Their response rate in killing spammer domains averages about one per week--but the spammer just replaces those domains--and all of them point to the same IP address. Currently it's ZF044096.ppp.dion.ne.jp, though I think there are only two or three domains in use right now.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
Well, that was different, I'll give you that.
So what's the excuse again? That we simply suck when it comes to doing things the right way?
I don't know what your excuse is, but the reason is due to crappy regulation that's resulted in monopolies that aren't serving the public interest. When the infrastructure provider is necessarily the same as the service provider, you have a problem (since the infrastructure is inherently a monopoly; nobody's fond of lots of streets being dug up to put in new capacity). There used to be exactly the same problem in the UK; the regulator here was very close to BT (who had the market sewn up just as thoroughly as Ma Bell ever did in the US). But the government/regulator (I forget which) decided to force BT to allow competition for the service part, and that's prompted both reduced prices and greatly improved levels of service. The former monopoly is still a big player, sure, but they're a competitive big player now, and I believe that having a free market in ISP services is what you need too.
If not, ask for yourselves (and your politicians) why the FCC hates capitalism and the free market, and goes instead for crypto-communist corporatism. Yeah, I know that's logically inconsistent, of course, but language like that is usually a good way to slant the argument the way you want.
"Little does he know, but there is no 'I' in 'Idiot'!"
I have my doubts that they were laying fiber after WWII.
But they will be after WWIII.
What else can the reason for upload cap need :-).

I hope this new cap does not pose any problems for me. I have 60mbit down / 20mbit up.. I live near Tokyo, Japan. The entire country has fibre up the ass here for the most part (I've heard about 80%) and this stems from a totally different corporate culture here. It is starting to change and become more weestern (god help them), but generally in Japan the company you work for takes care of you a lot more and for a lot longer, and as a CEO you would stay with the same company for probably the rest of your career a lot more often. Because of this, the long-term success of a company is treated as being much more important than the short term profit / how the stocks perform this quarter. As such, Japanese companies are more willing to invest HUGE sums of money up front in R&D and infrastructure that wont make them any money for years and sometimes decades (Look at Tokyo's public transit/subway/monorail system, I've heard that it wont cover the debts it made to be built for another decade or two still, and they're still building new subway lines). This difference in corporate thinking is what has put the Japanese at the forefront in terms of technology applied to everyday living. Going back home to the US feels like walking into a technologically primative country, and not because the Japanese have any great marvels of technology, they simply spend more money on finding applicable ways to have technology contribute to everyday life.
It's OK, it's just a plan to stop uploads of incredibly boring vids of other peoples' weddings.
Time Warner's highest level tier for their experiment with usage-based pricing is 40 GB/month. This is less than the capacity of a single Blu-Ray disc. Sony must be doing a happy dance.
There shouldn't be a limit. Period. Companies need to upgrade their 10+ year old infrastructure before they even THINK about capping users. This is really irritating. And hell, I don't even download torrents. Not because I'm opposed to it, I just don't care enough to grab em all the time. I mainly just do alot of gaming (hosting) and netbrowsing/email. But I like to know that if I wanted, I could download whatever I wanted without a damned cap. Seriously, the broadband providers should focus on upgrades instead of caps. Oh, and the RIAA can blow me.
And I'm a pretty heavy user myself, my DSL sees about 140 MB/month down and about 30 MB/month up. That's for me and about 15 other users (I live in a pretty densely populate area). I use DSL Extreme, they have no caps, and implicitly allow sharing in their ToS. I could get a faster connection through the local cable provider,(I get about 5.3Mb/s down and 680 Kb/s up) but I feel much more comfortable with a reseller.
I think comcasts 250 MB/month cap is quite generous....for now.

Piracy is probably the last thing the Japanese government would worry about. Perhaps a little look at the society here would help:
Piracy is not very prevalent in the Japanese society. Their culture discourages it. People seldom pirate software, or share copyrighted videos (well if they did then they did not openly talk about it).
From my personal experience having lived in several major cities, there are a few more reason why video piracy is not so prevalent in Japan.
1. Japan has a culture rich in entertainment material. All possible videos can be found here, and rental is cheap. Even porn is cheap and easily accessible, either through the internet (free or paid) or DVD rental stores (EVERY store).
2. The younger Japanese are all busy trying to find their niche rather than conform to the normal stuff that other people watches. It will be hard for them to understand why gaijins only watch the main-stream anime (e.g. Naruto).
That being said, there are a few things to consider:
1. people do use p2p for the really hardcore porn, but how prevalent is this I do not know. I have seen a student's download list made public by the school (the school was kind enough to not show his name).
2. people do share videos on youtube or (more likely) nico nico. But these are more out of a desire to find "talking material" (neta) than entertainment.
Like it's even possible to upload 30gig in 1 day on US cable, that is never going to happen. I'd love to have a 30gig upload cap. Jeez, the speed we are at I'd be seriously amazed to download 30gig in 1 day. Funny, the US news is talking about how most US online don't even want cable - ie. they are fucking retarded.
That's 295 GB.
it could be much worse, imagine, a connection with a top speed of 512kbs, where your international cap is 3GB and your local cap is 10GB and once you hit that, you got to wait till next month. well, this is the reality I have to deal with in South Africa thanks to Telkom, so, is 30GB a day really that bad? :P
PS: I solved my problem, went to a varsity, tunnel out, uncapped fast internet for the win.
Here in France the first broadband ISP in the 90s (mostly 512 kbps cable then) had ridiculous caps like 5gb upload per month.
This lasted quite some time because every cable provider had a de facto monopoly on the areas they deployed their infrastructure in.
Then came ADSL and laws that forced France Telecom to lease its copper loop to other ISPs. There's no such obligation for cable networks.
After some time and healthy competition, prices started to plunge, upload caps were removed, speed caps too ...
Today I have 5mbps adsl + 100mbps cable both uncapped for half the price of my first 512 kbps capped connection, and trust me, we would still be there, had cable been the the only alternative.
Living in Tokyo. I think that the 30G per day is to low, I am happy I do not have Dion as my ISP.
Here you can get fiber installed at home for free when I got it.. might be 10.000 yen now not sure.

Is there any reason except from the network for the ISP will run slower? What about upgrading..
Good there is ton's of competition, I have around 20 different providers than can give me fiber here.

In regards to their fair access policy, if you exceed more than your not-quite-daily allotted download limit (200 MB for the basic home account, which in addition to installation fees is $60/month), you're connection becomes slower than dial-up for a period of no less than 24 hours. Web pages will take forever to load, if they don't time out. Good luck getting anything else to work. In addition to the naturally large latency (a minimum of 500ms) due to the signal having to travel to space and back, which makes online gaming impossible, I'm lucky enough to see downloads of anything greater than 20 kB/s most of the time. We have to deal with this sort of garbage, all because cable and DSL services are not available in the area. I'd gladly welcome a better solution than this tripe.

I've actually had FIOS (20/5/$50) for about a year now at these usage rates, but my router died and I had to get a new one in June. I've had absolutely zero complaints, which is not shocking since the glass they strung up is far from capacity. If I'm costing them more than my user fees, I would be glad to pay extra to cover my usage (seriously).
For those of you that complain that you just can't use that much bandwidth, I suggest you try a little harder. Be creative: host your own flash videos, use sshfs to mount your music directory from wherever, set up SVN repositories for everyone you know, . . .
Three men are currently being tried in Japanese court because they uploaded a few too many anime episodes on Share, and one of them's looking at what will probably be 18 months in jail (link in Japanese), if the prosecutors get their way.
I don't like this kind of solution (bandwith limits download or upload):
I had one in the past and I switched of provider as soon as I could to get rid of it.(and other problems)
- even if you don't go over the bandwith limit, you're connection is not unlimited so you always have to ask yourself how much I have used.
- when you download, your upload goes up. (In my case downloading a few iso linux was enough to make your upload limit reached)
- if somebody knows you've got this kind of limit, he may be able to initiate data transfer with you (in both way) and making you reach the limit (which can make you pay more, cut your line,...)
- you're very dependant on all the software which can initiate data transfer in background
- it doesn't allow you to be a data provider easily (ie sending documents, video, saving your data over Internet, having your web server,...)
I believe the provider should have the infrastructure able to sustain the trafic sold to customers (even if statistically a few customers make the most trafic)

Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
This is actually an interesting way to attack the media-sharing peer networks and their seeders without affecting "mainstream" video sources (i.e. old media companies holding copyright). Since there's no download cap, the viewers of streaming content won't be harmed (except in their ability to download from the peer networks). Since the mainstream media companies already pay for commercial connections, it won't affect them.
We are the 198 proof..
if the prosecutors get their way
Not to start a flame war, but... It's Japan, the prosecutors will get their way, one way or another.
The Japanese legal system can easily be abused by prosecutors who are pressured to never lose. So once someone is charged - correctly or not - they will eventually result in a guilty verdict, regardless of the actual facts of the case or if innocence is discovered during the proceedings.
Virtually indefinite imprisonment ("bail" is essentially never granted and they have a special name for it - "daiyo kangoku"). Even if you're found not guilty, the prosecutor just refiles the case, asks for "remand" and the process continues over and over again.
In virtually all trials, more time is spent during the sentencing phase than the actual trial, which seems to indicate that the guilt of the person is more or less irrelevant.
There are also numerous cases of forced confessions, abuse, days of interrogations, blank confession forms being signed in capital cases, etc, etc. Oh, sleeping judges (and since there is no jury...) and defense attorneys who don't want to wake them and quietly mumble their arguements.
It's a pretty fucked up system for a first world country. They're introducing reforms, but the reforms won't take effect until 2009.

As others have said, it's pointless to discuss how this cap could influence your business when you shouldn't be using it anyway, you should have a commercial account.
Use the right tool for the job chief.
Nothing.
Oh I see, I'm a moron because YOU can;t understand what you're reading.
That makes as much sense as your retarded argument.
I did read the posts, they don't make your posts any less idiotic and inapplicable.
In case you're wondering, calling me names when you're wrong and an asshole doesn't make you less wrong or less of an asshole. And telling me that I should "lay in an anthill" might as well be you saying " I know you're right, I just don't have an argument so I'll call names and tell you to lay in an anthill because that's the best I can do".
