Abstract
Government, industry and academia are joining their research efforts to make Japan a force to be reckoned with in ad hoc wireless networking. In January 2001, in an attempt to become the world's most advanced IT nation by 2005, the government of Japan compiled the e-Japan strategy. A new document, the u-Japan initiative, followed in June 2004, with a stated goal of creating a ubiquitous network society in which anyone, anything, anywhere and at any time should be able to connect easily to networks by 2010. Comprehensive policy packages to promote research and business relating to both the e & u strategies are currently in progress. This decisive move towards a ubiquitously connected society has triggered a great deal of interest in ad hoc wireless networking. The article describes the projects on which Japan's industry, academia and government have been concentrating their research efforts.
