   Doesn't this mean that although JPNIC does not know the relationship 
between bandwidth estimation and the number of potential users, it 
estimates that 30Mbps will hold nearly 500 users and 10Mbps will hold about 
250 users.  I think this means that JPNIC knows that 30Mbps will hold at 
least 500 users in 3 months term considering the address allocation process.

   May I ask a question?  Since I am not familiar with cable technology, I 
thought that cable modems are placed in every head end.  I think I saw 
somewhere that average home passes per head end is 500.  Please correct me 
if I am wrong.
