1.Preface -trial and enforcement-
President of JPNIC JUN MURAI
I am not crazy to Audio-visial aids. I am not in the habit of collecting
them. But I like music and pictures, so I have hundreds of EP and LP records
and video (of course beta). The other day, I thought to change the audio-
visial system to make more room in my house, I noticed that record-player,
PHONO-terminal amplifer and beta-deck are difficult to find at electric
stores. There are also lots of CD, VHS and LD in my house. The development
of technology and market theory bring unexpectable changes to our life.
That reminds me- It was 7 years ago, I designed this house inserted
10base5's Ethernet. The cable, I expected to see it smart, hang 10baseT
uglily (My family called it uglily,,). It past a long time to connect the
exclusive line there. Considering that I see the scene that my children are
scolded "Don't do NETSCAPE you are eating!!", it is not a surprising thing
that the FTTH(Fiber to the Home) will be realized 10 years earlier than
scheduled. It is necessary for supporting the use of network in the Internet
as the base of forefront technology to need thinking about things hard to
expect, the trial to get good result and enforcement for the good usage,
quickly. I hope JPNIC will achieve substantial work through various link
and cooperation.
