(InfoWorld) - Yahoo Japan has jumped into the Wi-Fi hotspot business and begun offering its 6.3 million registered users in Japan access to a nationwide wireless LAN network. The "Yahoo Wireless LAN Spot" service relies on the hotspot network built by sister company Softbank Telecom, which currently offers around 3,500 access points throughout the country. Many of the access points are located in cafes, railway stations, and hotels. The service is available to users holding a "Yahoo Premium" membership to the portal, which costs Â¥294 ($2.50) per month and brings with it access to a number of member-only services including bidding and selling on the company's leading auction site. The company presently has 6.3 million such members, said Masaki Hanyu, a spokesman for Yahoo Japan in Tokyo. Yahoo Premium users signing up now will get free access until June next year, when it will cost an additional Â¥210 on top of the premium membership. From June non-members will also be able to sign up for the service for Â¥525 per month, which is slightly more than the combined cost of the membership and members-only price. Yahoo Japan already offers its name to a hotspot service, but that's only available as an option to customers signing up for Softbank BB's "Yahoo BB" broadband service. The new service announced on Tuesday doesn't require subscription to a wired broadband provider. Softbank Telecom is a subsidiary of Softbank, which is a major shareholder in Yahoo Japan.

InfoWorld - Fewer new Internet users got online in China during 2004 than during the previous two years, even as the number of people accessing broadband connections continued to soar, according to survey results released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). At present there are 94 million Internet users in China, according to the report. That represents an increase of 18.2 percent, or 14.5 million new Internet users, since January 2004. That number represents the lowest number of new Chinese Internet users reported by CNNIC since January 2002. It reported annual increases of 20.4 million new Internet users in January 2004 and 22.6 million new users in January 2003, compared to an annual increase of 11.2 million new Internet users reported in January 2002. All four categories showed increases during 2004, but the rate of growth for broadband users far exceeded all of the other categories.

The category with the second-fastest growth rate was ISDN users, which increased 16.3 percent from 5.5 million users to 6.4 million users.
