87. Wired News: Cheaper Net Access In Japan? The japanese government is slowly coming around to the idea that by lowering exorbitant telephone charges, japan could gain longterm benefits from increased Internet use. David Lazarus reports from Tokyo. Wired News http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,20282,00.html

Welcome to Wired News. Skip directly to: Search Box Section Navigation Content Search: Wired News Animations Wired Magazine HotBot (the Web) Cheaper Net Access in Japan? Page 1 of 1 12:00 PM Jun. 17, 1999 PT TOKYO After effectively strangling Internet use in Japan through stratospheric access fees, the Japanese government finally is gearing up to introduce flat-rate dial-up charges, major newspapers here say. The move could significantly boost Internet use in Japan, which has been uncharacteristically slow to embrace a new technology. Story Tools Today's Top 5 Stories Due Process Vanishes in Thin Air 'Step Back' for Wireless ID Tech? Intel Coder Not Going Anywhere Drugs Strain to Resist Resistance ... Sorry, That Stock's Out of Stock But Net users in Japan shouldn't hold their breath awaiting a break in prices. Flat-rate access likely won't be introduced before 2001, Japan's premier business newspaper Nihon Keizai reported on Wednesday. "There's a lot of resistance to change," said Chris Bryden, chief technical adviser for Sunnynet, an Okinawa-based Internet service provider. "It can take years for a decision to be made." Still, the change was inevitable. Japanese officials have been wringing their hands in recent years over the country's tortoise-paced approach to information technology, and have fretted that Japan is in danger of being left in the digital dust.

Government On July 1, 1954, one town and five villages merged into Sayama, which raised its original population of 31,000 to its present population of 162,986. The city has a strong mayoral form of government with a city council and is represented by thirty members elected at-large.

The government is supported by a taxation plan that includes a municipal property tax, light automobile tax, tax certificate, fees for registration and scrapping of motorcyles, and the National Health Tax. The government provides an array of services: a mandatory recycling program (due to its limited land mass), neighborhood police stations (kobans), and senior citizens' day care centers (kashiwa-en). The city government is also responsible for the educational system, housing, social welfare, public health, the library, museum, and the zoo. The government also assists community-based organizations in the installation and management of the garbage collection sites, and the maintenance of street lights for crime prevention and safety. The crime rate in Sayama is low: 3,791 reported crimes in 1993, including, 1 murder, 3 armed robberies, and the remaining crimes - theft.

From President Roosevelt signing the Declaration of War against Japan to General MacArthur making good his promise, "I shall return," national archives and personal scrapbooks are filled with the pictorial record. Much less known, however, are the posters that dominated American life during the war. Created to encourage motivate and caution U.S. military and civilians, many of the posters also send strong messages . Some historians have suggested they were America’s version of propaganda. From the Statue of Liberty in chains (with the subtitle " Never! ") to a suggestion that "foxy foreign ideas brought poverty, suffering and defeat to Europe," posters reminded Americans what the fight was about while they chided members of the military to maintain silence about U.S. plans.

Japanese prime minister to rule with minority government November 7, 1996 Web posted at: 12:15 p.m. EST (1715 GMT) From Correspondent May Lee TOKYO (CNN) Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto easily won a second term in office Thursday, but his biggest challenge is just beginning: ruling the nation with a minority government. Hashimoto received 262 votes in the 500-member lower house of Parliament, largely due to a loose alliance his conservative Liberal Democratic Party formed with its old allies, the Social Democrats and the tiny Sakigake party. In lower house elections last month, the LDP failed to secure a majority. But no party, not even its former coalition partners the Social Democrats and Sakigake, will agree to formally join a new coalition. "The main reason why (LDP is) having difficulties finding partners is because everybody knows the decisions that will be made over 12 to 24 months will be very, very difficult decisions," political analysts Keith Henry said. Henry specifically said deregulation, administrative reform and economic recovery are key issues facing the government.
