It's a digital voice & data mode that was developed by the Japan Radio League.  The repeaters are often connected to the internet so that they can link up much like IRLP or Echolink.  Currently, DStar is only implemented in certain Icom radios.  As quickly as DStar is spreading, I wouldn't be surprised to see it become available from other brands in a year or two.
