From slashdot yesterday:
"Hong Kong is planning to launch a 1Gbps broadband home service. Although the idea of using shared infrastructure is nothing new for TV/phone/data this appears to be the first to do this over IP at such high speed. The cost is high - 215 USD a month.

well a maltese company (global net) started offering this service for the speed of 2mb when in malta everyone was using dial-up but they where stoped from wireless and telegrapgy dept. in the past moinths maltese court had decided that it it legal to offer this service but the w&t dept. have applead so globalnet have to wait to start offering service again
Does anyone have some insight on the above mentioned case? Was there really *real* 2mb service here a while ago? Any likelihood that a *real* internet connection with tolerable speed might happen for people who live here in Malta? Perhaps satellite of some kind is the only real alternative...argh. sims
