TOKYO, THURSDAY - Fast or slow Internet network will reach capacity meksimumnya that may not serve the data communications traffic increase. Japan set up a research center to develop technology such as the replacement effort has also done research in the U.S. and Europe.

Yoshihiro Onishi, one of the officials of the directors at the Japanese communications ministry said, Japan will take this opportunity to mention that can compete in the world. He said the technology of the Internet network is expected to be implemented starting 2020.

One of the factors that make the Internet can develop so rapidly that the architecture is open and flexible. However, it also causes a waste of information freely given, especially from the sender spam and hacker free to wander in the virtual world.

"Internet almost to the limit, we think the research on technology like this is needed," Onishi said, as quoted the AP. Step in line with a number of scientists in the world to begin to realize that the network is really new is needed in the capacity of the Internet already can not be improved.

Later the new network may run parallel with the Internet network are currently replaces or even entirely. One of the research also directed to evaluate the architecture, which is currently used. In addition, scientists exploring the technology to the network requires more energy small.

Efforts by the Japanese government will be funded from the budget year that starts every 1 April. The amount was not announced but the research plan will be determined starting end of this year. The Japanese Government will establish special organizations to determine the research program, which also involve the role of the private sector.
