Ken Kutaragi wants to explore networks to bring together content

Ken Kutaragi has just stepped down from the top position at the Sony’s gaming division and he has already revealed on his upcoming project.

Kutaragi said that he now wants to explore the possibilities of harnessing the power of networks to bring together content.

He was quoted as saying in the media: “I see a new business in which servers and networks allow many people to jointly perform large calculations and enjoy content together.”

Kutaragi remains connected to Sony as a technology advisor to CEO Howard Stringer. His project could involve products like cell phones and other technologies developed by SCEI and other companies.

He added about similar capabilities existing on the Sony’s Playstation 3 console: “Since I led on networking with the PS3, I think it is my responsibility to push further in that direction.”

Sony’s Playstation 3 supports Stanford University’s Folding@home project and has become one of the leading contributors of processing power for their research work.
