It's a lot easier to deploy new technologies over a landmass that's around the size of California than it is over the United States. Not to mention that within Japan's landmass, there's a lot of relatively unpopulated mountain ranges and such.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rollins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 15th 2008 12:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Japan sells not a single 2G phone in January]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/14/japan-sells-not-a-single-2g-phone-in-january/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/14/japan-sells-not-a-single-2g-phone-in-january/</guid><description><![CDATA[I couldn't agree more.

Rather dedicated of Japan, something we can't say of America. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 16th 2008 5:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Japan sells not a single 2G phone in January]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/14/japan-sells-not-a-single-2g-phone-in-january/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/14/japan-sells-not-a-single-2g-phone-in-january/</guid><description><![CDATA[Some good points.
