I'll try it if I can get my hands on it....Not quite as bad as Nakashima Mika's version (honestly what could be?), but...OH wait a minute...it is damn pricey for just a three pack....This might actually be good. I look forward to giving it a try....Congrats on getting photo of the week in the current...well done Danny!! I'm sold! (-:...Good point. Maybe he had a senior moment....I thought the pictures were great! Nice review. :-)...But if he's Catholic...where's that put HIS work ethic? Ha ha. What wins out?...Cool experience. By the way, I saw some of your photos featured in the Metropolis...

I'm a bit confused. The article says that KDDI is trying to catch up with NTT, but as I understand it, the actual infrastructure belongs to NTT and KDDI pays them to use it!
I'm trying to find something to support my comment that the infrastructure belongs to NTT. How about this:
"NTT has lost its top share in DSL services to Softbank, and it is currently in second place. For this reason, it is focusing on FTTH (fiber) broadband services. As of October 2004, NTT's FTTH subscribers numbered 1.6 million. The fiber optic lines that NTT lays, however, must be open for use by other carriers. KDDI is "borrowing" NTT's fiber-optic network to unfold its broadband services. NTT is voicing discontent saying that this is taking away NTT's incentive to invest in fiber optics."

That's a bit dated though. Then there's this:
"KDDI, Japan's second largest telecommunications operator, laid the [Japan-Russia optical fiber] cables jointly with Rostelecom, a Russian government-affiliated long-distance carrier."

So, are KDDI laying their own lines for the new 1Gb service, or not?
Any chance they'll offer this near me? I'd love to upgrade to fiberoptic...even if the speed isn't as advertised!
