Japan makes bid to define "next" Internet

A REPORT SAID the Japanese government proposes a next generation of technology to supplant the existing interwibble.

According to the Japan Times, comms minister Yoshihide Suga said it hopes the infrastructure will be up and running by 2020.

Suga wants to include a huge sum in Japan's 2008 budget and set the standards for the new interwibble. Some other countries are not necessarily going to give this a very warm welcome. µ
