Your Internet at 1.2 gigabytes per second thanks to Japan
How would you like to have super internet surfing at 1.2 gigabytes per second speeds from a small dish on your home window? Thanks to Japan, they’ve just launched a satellite that carries new technology to boost internet speeds for homes and businesses around the world. Last Saturday, at 555pm, the WINDS satellite was launched from the Japanese island of Tanagashima that promises such speeds. That piece of expensive tin can is a a joint project of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
I wonder if they will charge by the second in Japanese yen, ouch.

It’s kind of different as they roll out such high speed internet at an island and not in Tokyo. Big city after all. Maybe I do not know much about Japan’s landmark. Well, in UK, 100mb is only coming soon. So, another 10 years?
