Japan launches Kizune to increase reach
Japan launched an experimental communication satellite developed and designed to bring super internet access in the remote parts of Japan, South East Asia and the Pacific regions. This was reported and filed by Teruaki Ueno as an article, Japan launched experimental Internet satellite, or IT News.
Here is Ueno’s accunt of the launch:
The H-2A rocket carrying the 2.7 tonne “KIZUNA” (WINDS) communications satellite took off into over the tiny island of Tanegashima, about 1,000 km south of Tokyo, at 5.55 p.m. (0855 GMT).
The launch had been briefly delayed after a ship strayed into restricted waters.[Source]
This is wonderful news because several secluded areas in Japan, South East Asia and the Pacific Region can now have access to Internet.
The only downside of this development is that the service of the satellite might be obsolete once infrastructure for the fast Internet connection is established,
A costly experiment.
But then again at present Kizune is a big help in bringing the Internet to remote areas, And to areas where Internet is temporarily unavailable. More people who will use RSS and more people drowned by information overload,
