This is incredible and is going to be very useful for people developing applications for use in Eastern Asia. Nailing typefaces for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is a huge challenge. Noto and the accompanying Source Han Sans is going to be a huge boon for people in Eastern Asia and hopefully it will have widespread adoption.
Sadly, it's probably still not possible to use as a Webfont. A single font weight is over 8mb, but there is a distinct possibility this could go into mobile devices and operating systems which would be awesome.

There is a technology called dynamic subsetting that only loads the necessary glyphs on a web page: http://www.monotype.com/services/screen-imaging-solutions/dynamicsubsetting http://www.monotype.com/services/screen-imaging-solutions/dy... http://en.justfont.com/ http://en.justfont.com/
