Wish I were in Japan, in 2010

womby writes “Nihon Keizai Shinbun report (Japanese) that NTT, Fujitsu and the Japanese Government are forming a working group to develop internet technologies that will hopefully allow homes to receve 10 gigabit internet connections by 2010. ‘The Japanese government (the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Post and Telecommunication) are going to start a development plan next year that will increase the speed of the internet in Japan to 100 times faster than the current 100MB fibre internet, with partner companies it is aiming for completion by 2010.’ A complete Translation is here, if my blog gets beaten into the ground try the Coral Cache Link.”

and probably MozillaZine as well, but their site was down at the moment of writing.

This means that Mozilla Firebird 0.8 will be released shortly, but a few bugs are still open.

Eolas talks with Open Source Community about patent

Eolas Technologies (no link here, the don’t deserve it :b) has started to talk with the Linux and Open Source Community about their browser patent according to this article in eWeek.

Eolas Technologies successfully sued Microsoft and was awarded more than $521 for patent infringements. At that time it was unclear what this would mean to other browsers like Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird, Opera and many others.

Little details were given about the topics being discussed and the people involved but Eolas Founder Michael Doyle told that “the solution will be supportive of the open-source community.”

Does this mean that Open Source products can use the technology for free or that Eolas will participate in the Open Source community in some way?
