I have a 40 mbps connection also here in Tokyo.
You can get fiber from two providers and get 100 mbps both ways. Fiber will install for free and after that you pay 50 USD per month.
I can't get 100mbps since my landlaw says no to get fiber into the house;(

I also had a 1 gigabit connection into my former apartment house here in Tokyo.
This was spread out on the households to 70 mbps / sec downstram connetions.

This free software gives the best voip quality.
Now you can also use it to call to land lines. http://www.skype.com/
I am waiting for a mobile phone that can use this one. Since I live in Japan we already have IP mobile phones since some time now.
I lived in Germany for 3 years and on the highway there are no speed limits except from at major highways crossing and around towns.
I often drew 190- 220 km/h that is fun and not dangerous since the other cars are also driving at that speed.
When the roads get full like in rush hours everyone drives 130 - 140 km/h snail speed.
So I would say it depends there should be an adaptive speed limit depending on the conditions like bad weather, how much traffic there are etc.
But I guess this is a dying subject anyway since all the cars in the near future will have automated everything like here in Japan now where a lot of new cars have radars build in for breaking for you when you are approaching something in front of you.
I guess that soon it will no longer be possible to take you 911 for a test drive in the night time anylonger;( It is fun to go more than 300 km/h hour overtaking bullet trains;)
Also here in Japan we are testing 500 km / h trains so it is not possible to get that fast with a car anyway... at the moment. Driving a train for some distance of some hours is much less stressful anyway with these speeds.
Hi
I live in Tokyo we have loads of them here. Some of them you can sit down and wait until your car is showing up in front of you.
Expensive as hell like everything here.
I have one in my house as well.

MIT is the best school in the US I guess for technology.
BTW.: You did not mention where you live.
Also get some magazines they always publish these kind of surveies.
I did a google and came up with these that are worth more investigation.

if you use C++ or Java and know what you are doing it can yield big performances.
I have done several projects.
The only problem I see is that this puts an extra dimention on your code and humans are not made for thinking in concurrent terms.

From Japan:
There was a lot of problems in the start with the FOMA (3G) phones.
Now things are starting to heat up and lot of providers give free bandwith.
I am not sure if IP phones will come in and overtake 3G. DOCOMO are running tests now.
In 2007 we will get 100 mbps phones. They are testing that now in a lab now as well.
Lars
In Japan you can as well as pay using our ISP internet provider.
Great now people can steal your money without getting your credit card out of you pocket!
