Connectivity

This white box, which is shorter and lighter than a pen, is a new USB modem. It can be used only in major cities in Japan, but its speed is faster than the so-called high-speed Internet in Vancouver and we can use it as much as we like for less than 5,000 yen per month. 7.2Mbps is the claimed best speed, which is fast enough for most purposes including movie downloads or video chatting. The number of home telephones in Japan is decreasing year by year owing to the development of cellphones. I think just the same thing would possibly happen in terms of the home Internet connections; the number of high-speed Internet connections at home would decrease because they can be replaced with this tiny mobile gadget. Which do you like better, to connect the Internet only from the designated place such as your room or to connect from anywhere you like including cafes, trains, friend's house and your home? I think the day when we can connect to anyone in the world from anywhere in the world will come soon.
