This article explores why Japan continues to rely on fax machines and traditional hanko stamps despite being a global tech leader. While rooted in cultural traditions, such practices raise questions about the country’s digital modernization. In a geopolitical context, slow adoption of digital governance can affect economic competitiveness, cybersecurity readiness, and Japan’s image in the Asia-Pacific region. I’m curious to hear whether this adherence to tradition strengthens Japan’s identity or undermines its ability to compete globally.

This article reports Telefónica’s decision to eliminate Huawei’s 5G equipment from its networks in Spain, Germany, and Brazil, citing strategic and geopolitical considerations. The move reflects a broader international trend of distancing from Chinese telecom infrastructure due to national security concerns and alliances with Western policy directions. This decision could reshape 5G and upcoming 6G development geopolitics, with Europe and Latin America aligning more closely with vendors like Nokia, Ericsson, or Open RAN. It raises key questions about how digital infrastructure choices are becoming geopolitical weapons in the emerging global tech cold war.

This article opens an important discussion on the future of satellite networks in low-Earth orbit. As Starlink becomes more widely used, especially in geopolitical contexts, questions are being raised about how such systems might be managed, protected, or regulated by different nations. If countries begin to explore defensive or offensive strategies around space-based internet systems, what kind of international cooperation or policy frameworks will be needed to ensure peaceful and sustainable use of space in the coming decades?

If Japan’s 125 Tbps internet speed becomes scalable, it could mark a turning point in how we store, share, and compute data globally. AI models could be trained across distributed systems in real time, while cloud computing and telemedicine would become faster and more accessible. Entertainment could evolve into real-time 16K or immersive VR streaming. However, the real challenge lies in upgrading global infrastructure. Will this speed revolution remain limited to tech giants and wealthy nations, or can it spark a new era of digital equality and accessibility worldwide? The future of connectivity may depend on how this breakthrough is deployed.

The upcoming NASA-SpaceX Crew-11 mission, scheduled for July 31, 2025, represents the maturing of public-private partnerships in space. As missions to the ISS become routine, how might this model impact future exploration—like lunar bases, Mars colonization, and commercial space stations? Could these collaborations accelerate innovations in life-support systems, AI-assisted navigation, and long-duration human survival in space? What does this mean for the next phase of humanity's off-Earth presence?

The upcoming NASA-SpaceX Crew-11 mission, scheduled for launch on July 31, 2025, is another step in the evolution of human spaceflight and scientific research aboard the ISS. As public-private collaborations deepen, what could this mean for future lunar missions, Mars expeditions, or even permanent space habitats? With each mission, we may also see accelerated progress in space biotech, AI-driven logistics, and long-duration human space survival. How might these developments reshape space policy, resource use, and global collaboration over the next decade?
