The Japanese Internet is getting faster.  Systems connected to NSPIXP1
and especially NSPIXP2 are really getting fast.  I'm getting 40 ms
ping times between TWICS and your ISP through NSPIXP2.  I think
that you'll see fast connection between Universities in Japan
on Sinet.  So, I imagine that Stephen can suck down data from
Tokyo University pretty fast.  
However, the gateway between the Japanese academic and 
the rest of the Internet is slow.

Personally, I'm using ftp.lab.kdd.co.jp all the time and it feels
like their server is on my ethernet.  :-)   Well, almost...

Craig
