| This Japanese internet satellite (codenamed:Kizuna) is a hi-speed internet provider giving Japan and some Asian countries the blazing speed of 1.2 Gbps .
When disasters occurs in Asian countries, the satellite can be used to communicate with them as well.
The total costs for this Kizuna project is 550 billion-yen approximately 500 million US dollars. My conclusion? It is awesome, great because it allows people in Asia to get high speeds with less costs. I remember,back in those days where I pay 60 US dollars every month, it was unlimited bandwidth but um the ISP gives me internet after 8PM til 6AM and my speed was 64kbps (12kilobytes for downloading).

P.S : I didn't have internet in Malaysia but I had internet in another part of Asia where I payed 60 dollars and got bad service.
