Japan intends to send to the Internet to the dustbin of history

Japan will start research on new network technology to replace the current Internet, drowning in an avalanche of problems with quality and safety, said August 28 the Japanese Ministry official in an interview with Associated Press.

American and European researchers have already started research to find methods to rebuild the basic architecture of the Internet, which could lead to a global replacement of equipment and complete redesign of the software. Yoshihiro Onishi (Yoshihiro Onishi), representing the interests of the Ministry of Communications of Japan, said that Japan feels the need to accede to this process, to remain competitive.
