  2. Transmission speed of the Internet １ • Moore’s Law describes that the processing speed of semiconductors has risen about 100-fold • every ten years. • However, the transmission speed of Internet has risen about ten thousand-fold for this ten years. Internet Speed 1,000,000kbps (1Gbps) 1Gbps（FTTH） 100,000kbps (100Mbps) 10,000kbps (10Mbps) Moore’s Law 1,000kbps (1Mbps) 100kbps 64kbps（ISDN） 1999 2009

  3. Integrated Services ２ • By developing the IP network with optical fiber, Japanese people can enjoy various services in an • integrated fashion. IP Telephony High-Speed Internet Access The Internet Broadband Network （FTTH: fiber-to-the-home） Telecommunication Career’s building ＩＰＴＶ

  4. Current Status of Broadband（availability） ３ • Virtually100%of households are ensured of having access to broadband. • About90%are ensured of having access to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). FY2010 Targets Area Coverage by Households (Estimation) Broadband 93.9% (47.33 m households) 95.2% (48.63 m households) 98.6% (50.83 m households) 100％ Achieved before the end of FY2010 March 2006 March 2007 September 2008 83.5% (42.68 m households) 87.2% (45.61m households) 90% FTTH 79.7% (40.15 m households)

  5. Current Status of Broadband（subscribers） ４ • Total number of broadband subscribers is about 31 million. • More than 50% （about 16 million）are FTTHsubscribers. Optical Fiber (FTTH) DSL Cable Internet 0.02 million

  6. Mobile System Evolution ５ • 3.5-generation wireless access to broadband has also begun to spread among the people. • 3.9-generation wireless access （Long Term Evolution） is expected to spread. 2000 2010 3.5G upgraded 3.5G 3.9G 3G 2G HSDPA W-CDMA HSPA＋ EV-DO LTE CDMA-2000 DC-HSDPA ～kbps　　　　　～384kbps　　　　　　　　 ～14Mbps 　　　　　～42Mbps100Mbps Voice Internet High data rate, various services… Approved Operators Service Start ・　NTT DoCoMo 2010～ ・　KDDI 2011～ ・　SoftBank Mobile 2012～ ・　EMOBILE 2010～

  7. Fixed Mobile Convergence(FMC) ６ • Fixed Mobile Convergence(FMC), which enables seamless voice and data services between mobile • and fixed networks. • FMC users can switch to fixed network in the home and office, and switch to mobile networks • outside. Fixed MobileConvergence Mobile Network Fixed Network Wireless LAN Optical Fiber (FTTH) Mobile access Switch

  8. Policy targets on broadband deployment ７ 2001 ～2010 2015 ～2005 1991 Basic Law on the Formation of an Advanced Information and Telecommunications Network Society （January 2001） Target: 1Gbps for fixed network and more than 100 Mbps for mobile network by 2015 Target: Ensure that all the households have access to broadband by FY 2010 i-Japan Strategy 2015 （July 2009） e-Japan Strategy （January 2001） Broadband Infrastructure Deployment through Competition e-Japan Strategy II （July 2003） Competition & special measures for non- profitable areas IT New Reform Strategy （January 2006） Fair Competition & private sector-incentives Strategy for bridging digital divide （June 2008） Target： ○High-speed constant access networks to at least 30million households; ○Ultra high-speed constant access to 10million households in 5 years Target: ○Ensure that all the households have access to broadband by the end of FY 2010 ○Ensure that 90% households have access to Ultra high- speed interactive broadband by the end of FY2010 The Telecommunications Infrastructure Improvement Law (April 1991～)（Tax incentives and so forth）

  9. Nationwide Broadband Deployment ８ ●The areas where broadband service is unavailable （March 2009） 340 thousand households cf. Total households: about 53 million • ●Public Support Program for Local Governments • In rural areas, the private sector has not invested much in broadband infrastructure as the • return on such investment remains very low. • The central government supports local governments installing broadband networks in such • areas. 340 thousand households will have access to broadband Broadband services will be made available to all the households before the end of FY 2010.

  10. Cloud Computing and Thin Clients ９ Thick Client Thick Client Thick Client Thick Client Computer user Computer user Computer user Security System Application resource Application resource Application resource Security System Security System ・Users can reduce their cost dramatically. ・Elderly people and so forth can utilize broadband more easily.
