Get on the Net, Part 2
by Wm. Auckerman
In November (see "Choosing an Internet Service Provider"), we discussed the explosive growth of Japan's Internet services market--a nearly 20-fold increase in the number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in just one year--and provided maps showing the proliferation of local access points.
Accompanying that article was a table of basic connection costs and contact information for 197 Japan-based ISPs. This month, we wrap up our low down of Internet access alternatives in Japan with information on another 207 ISPs.
