As if there weren't enough reasons for me to move to Japan. America should really start adopting more of their technology. Sure we may have done this to a certain extent, but there is still so much more. Back on topic, What I wouldlike to know is if it will be able to connect via regular wifi adapters. Or will it need its own card/PCMCIA? Either way, its a great technology to have.

just think of the limitations and bandwidth throlleting on it you know they will once they sell a few thousand 10Mbit services.
Now its a nice first step to overhauling the whole satellite shtick, I wonder tho what will hit first a better land based wireless system or a true high speed satellite system that is not managed by bandwidth nazis?

Well, I was thinking about Akihabara, or Electric Town. I love places like that and it would be perfect for me.
Side Note @ PetahG: Be careful when using the abbreviation Jap, as it's considered a derogatory term stemming from WW2.
