I'd argue about which part of the aforementioned "problem" is being solved
in Japan...
Most of the "interesting" broadband wireless work to be coming out of Agere
(formerly Lucent (think the Apple Airport)), Alcatel, Intersil, and Nokia.
Japan is deploying a lot of technology early; however, they don't seem to be
inventing much of it yet. Japan is sponsoring research via (the assumedly
roughly translated) "Yokosuka Radio Communications Research Center,
Communications Research Laboratory, Ministry of Public Management, Home
Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications", but their publications are lagging
the current "state of the art".
Still, I do expect that Japan's experiences in the early adoption of this
technology which push the software and systems issues...
