SliverSamuel Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 ;) I am kinda confused...are people in japan allowed to use any p2p applications??? My friends told me that they are not allowed...but I do not believe them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Of course they do. Anyone with Internet access can.WinMX was very popular in Japan due to its ability to handle 2 byte characters. By 2001 it was the de facto P2P application in Japan. However, WinMX's Japanese popularity dropped sharply with the arrest of several users, and resulted in the development of a semi-secure, encrypted, serverless application called WinNY (N comes after M, Y comes after X). WinMX is also especially popular in Italy and Hong Kong.Wikipedia Info On WinNYWikipedia Info On Share (P2P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverSamuel Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 ;) OOOPS...I mean that p2p sharing in Japan is being cracked down by officials, so a very few amount of people are using it in Japan. :fight: P.S. What's up with that p2p screenshot? It clearly says 'porn' on it! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 If you clicked on the links, you'll notice that WinNY was started for that very reason. Japanese folks were upset that they were getting arrested.As for the 'porn' comment, well... I'm still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Hunt Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 UK is about to get its first 24Mbps broadband speed and Be is the one to thank for this gift to the British.The company will begin the implementation of the local loop unbundling (LLU) in London and Be claims that by using ADSL2+ technology it will manage to keep costs very low.“The deregulation of the market makes this a very exciting time for the UK and Be is here to make the most of it, offering customers the full capability of ADSL2+ from launch,” he said. “There is no reason to drag out the increase in speed and launch in steps of 1 meg or 2 meg when the capability is there to offer the maximum speeds available - which is what Be is all about.”, said Be's founder, Boris Ivanovic.Although ADSL2+ promises 24Mbps by using existent copper wires, this speed is only available to those homes and businesses within a short walk of their exchanges. Users will switch to ADSL2+ only if the company offers extremely low prices, otherwise they won’t give up their standard ADSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
