Japan focuses on Internet expansion. Pretty cool that Japan is realizing the increased benefits of widespread Internet access. It's especially awesome that they've budgeted some yen to connect educational facilities.

Pretty cool that the Japanese ministry may stop playing favorites and allow some competition against state-owned NTT. While it's nice that they're light years ahead of us in mobile phones, they could probably do well with some non-monopolized internet access.
