Korea to get 1Gbps downloading by 2012
Posted in Insight 洞察力, Life in Japan 日本の生活, My Story 私の物語, Science and Tech 科学・技術 with tags broadband, highspeed internet, internet, japan, korea, malaysia on February 7, 2009 by MervinIf you are looking for high speed internet. Then Korea is the place where you need to be.
Gizmodo – the Korea Communications Commission is spending $24 billion to secure 1Gbps access by 2012. 1Gbps allows you to download a 120-minute film in 12 seconds.There’s one small catch to the commission’s plan, which is that only large cities in Korea will have access to the top tier broadband. But surrounding smaller areas will still have access to 50 to 100 Mbps speeds.
When i was in Japan, i was enjoying 50 Mbps broadband for 10 months. Can you imagine my life when i back to Malaysia where our broadband service can only go as high as 1Mbps? Yes 1 Mbps?
We are behind East Asian Nations like Japan and Korea 50 to 100 times in terms of internet speed and in 2012, we will be far behind like what…500 times perhaps?
Yes Malaysia boleh.
What is your broadband speed?
Photo of the day – 10 years in the making
Posted in My Story 私の物語, Photo of the day 今日の写真 on February 4, 2009 by MervinTime surely passes quickly. It’s almost 10 years since we took that picture in Grandpa’s house. Luckily the house is owned by his youngest son now, our ‘Be ku’.
A big thank to Gordon for providing the old photo. Mom, who took the shot, ‘Ko po’ who help us with the positions, Nicholas and Mun, for their wonderful cooperation (haha) and all the relatives who were there and had fun throughout the process.
Looking forward to 20 years in the making
We shall we if we are still able to fit into the stairs.
