They start accepting applications June 20th for this experimental service
(to start late June).  It is going to cost 2,280 yen a month (half the
price of NTT) + 550 yen rental fee for the splitter/modem, and will have a
max. speed of 8Mbps (not sure if 8Mbps is a higher level/more expensive
service).  First 1 million customers will have their installation fee
(expected to cost 8,800 yen) waived.
