Japan: The Birth Of The Wireless Information Society?
Here is yet another article hyping up Japan's wireless accomplishments. The article reads like a press release for Japan. What's interesting is that, throughout the article they make references to why "Asia" is a good place for wireless technologies, but then keeps focusing in on just Japan. As we've discussed previously, while Japan has done amazing things with wireless technologies, they still seem to be a bit behind Korea. This article makes it sound like Japan is leading the charge, when Korea definitely seems to be much more advanced in some areas.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
