Web to get 'ubiquitous' zone The government will set up a zone next fiscal year to test "ubiquitous" Internet technology in situations as varied as providing medical services for the elderly, preventing car accidents and buying vegetables, officials said May 12. The Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry hopes the experiment will lead in a couple of years to groundbreaking telecommunications technologies and nationwide consumer-friendly services, the officials said. The special deregulation zone for achieving the ubiquitous network -- a system allowing everyone and everything to be connected anytime and anywhere by Internet technology -- is expected to be set up in an area where there is less radio wave interference. The most likely candidates are Hokkaido and Okinawa.
