Japan wants to replace the internet. No, for reals

Forgive us, but we’re not entirely sure that we understand the concept behind this one. It seems that Japan has decided to begin work on a massive internal network, with the goal of replacing the World Wide Web by the year 2020. The Japanese government wants to invest 7.8 billion yen in the development project, slated to begin sometime next year pending budgetary concerns. The investment is spawned by concerns over increasing security vulnerabilities, the need for more bandwidth as usage scales, and the need for increased stability. We’ll see how this one pans out, but until we can see a clear cut proposal, we’ll remain the ever-cautious bloggers.
yea they are calling it Jap-lan.. lol that was horrible..
so they are going to reinvent something that really already exsist? develop new protocols? Surely they will not try to replace infrastructure.
If you ask me it is all trivial if you are thinking about it from a security standpoint.. really no matter what proprietary system you develope doesn’t all data boil down to on/off 1’s and 0’s?
I’d say this is a over complicated proposal to a problem that really doesn’t exsist in technology, There are good security measures in place, but they have to be used. I think this security issue is more psychological than anything else.

So why don’t they just offer faster internet instead of trying to create a whole new one?

W ell I red somwer a whil back that docomo was eperimenting in development of a super 3g cellulat network and the average speed would be 300mbps. So I’d o belive they will try to replace the infastructure. The. Us fedgove tied a dedicated domain network for goverment only but it never came too. As for security everty time. Y ou patch 2 security holes 3 open up. There will alaways be black hats you need whit hats to combat them. It’s that simple. Also you right on the psycolocial point. The prblem is too man people believe “it will never happen to me” which is a lie caus it dose more often than not. That rain of thought is ussally the first security hole.
