 [Another excellent presentation from the recent ITU conference in Kyoto on
ICTs and Climate Change. In his presentation Dr. Yuji INOUE, President & CEO
The Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC) demonstrated that it is
possible for Japan to reach 90% of it Kyoto target to reduce CO2 emissions
(68m tones) through application of ICT to various everyday activities,
especially de-materialization and trading eProducts and eServices for their
physical counterpart.  Even if a more realistic outcome is closer to 50% of
the Kyoto target, this is still a significant impact on CO2 emissions for
Japan. I believe we can achieve even more significant results by moving all
Internet network and computational facilities to zero carbon data centers
and using carbon rewards as opposed to carbon taxes, to underwrite the costs
next generation last mile networks in order that consumers fully utilize
eProducts and eServices --BSA]
