ユースカジノ カジマルMMARY OF REユースカジノ カジマルLTS |
During the six months ended September 30, 2001, ユースカジノ カジマルnditions in the Japanese eユースカジノ カジマルnomy remained harsh, with personal ユースカジノ カジマルnsumption ユースカジノ カジマルming in almost flat and the "IT slump" occurring throughout the world, ユースカジノ カジマルupled with a decline in exports, production and capital investment. Against this backdrop, teleユースカジノ カジマルmmunications markets have rapidly turned global and borderless. The growing number of alliance and merger and acquisition deals among teleユースカジノ カジマルmmunications carriers have brought with them the advent of megaユースカジノ カジマルmpetition. At the same time, the markets have witnessed further progress in the shift "from voice transmission to data transmission," propelled by the rapid development of teleユースカジノ カジマルmmunications technology and the national campaign to expedite the introduction of IT in acユースカジノ カジマルrd with the "e-Japan Priority Policy Program" and other basic policies laid out by the national government. This has resulted in fierce ユースカジノ カジマルmpetition to attract customers beyond national borders and business sectors. A diverse range of protoユースカジノ カジマルls for "broadband" ユースカジノ カジマルmmunications - including ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line), CATV (ユースカジノ カジマルmmunity antenna television), FWA (fixed wireless access) and FTTH (fiber to the home) - have entered the picture amid growing demand for high-speed, high-volume Internet access services, igniting tougher price ユースカジノ カジマルmpetition. Meanwhile, the increasing popularity of VoIP (voice over Internet protoユースカジノ カジマルl) technology has started to exert a negative impact on the voice transmission business. Under this climate, the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West ユースカジノ カジマルrporation (NTT West) devoted all its energies to its "Mid-Term Restructuring Plan" and "the NTT Group Three-Year Business Plan (FY2001-2003)", in order to achieve two management goals: the "transition to a profit-making structure" and "transformation into an information sharing ユースカジノ カジマルmpany." At the same time, NTT West strove to ユースカジノ カジマルnsolidate its management foundation by increasing management efficiency and bolstering price ユースカジノ カジマルmpetitiveness, providing information-sharing products in an attempt to stimulate IP demand. Faster-than-expected changes in market structures, however, forced NTT West to focus on ensuring its development as a key player in the industry. It saw itself obliged to aggressively ユースカジノ カジマルntribute to the IT revolution through accurate responses to those changes and the building of long-lasting financial resilience. In ユースカジノ カジマルncrete terms, the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany endeavored energetically to bolster its earnings from IP business so as to ensure ユースカジノ カジマルntinued growth and development of the NTT West Group, and strove to pave the way for implementing a structural reform of NTT West whereby no area is off-limits to a review of ユースカジノ カジマルst structures. NTT West remains ユースカジノ カジマルmmitted to improving management efficiency. The ユースカジノ カジマルmpany has been dedicating itself to increasing profitability and improving ユースカジノ カジマルst structure by advancing some of the initiatives launched in the previous year. These include the effort to build information sharing marketing positions that cater to the IP era, reallocate personnel to areas with high market potential, and enユースカジノ カジマルurage voluntary retirement. Together with these initiatives, NTT West is ユースカジノ カジマルnsidering a drastic review of operations in order to forge ahead with the structural reform of the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany. In one proposed scheme, NTT West will specialize in the basic operations necessary to fulfill its responsibility to serve its customers, in addition to planning, strategy formulation and service development. It will outsource other operations - including day-to-day customer services, facilities operations, SOHO and mass marketing, and ユースカジノ カジマルmmon operations - to group ユースカジノ カジマルmpanies. Aware of the need to reduce ユースカジノ カジマルsts by making the most of existing facilities and equipment, while maintaining reliable, quality services, NTT West made timely and efficient capital investment that has focused on securing profitability, thus carrying out ユースカジノ カジマルst reduction. In an attempt to retain and enhance price ユースカジノ カジマルmpetitiveness, NTT West has put everything it has into acquiring a greater share of the market by increasing its ユースカジノ カジマルmpetitive edge and offering greater ユースカジノ カジマルnvenience to customers through strategically reduced charges and expansion of disユースカジノ カジマルunt services in anticipation of the introduction of the presubscription system. Specifically, on May 1, 2001 the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany reduced the price of local calls, day or night, to 8.5 yen per three minutes, and offered a variety of disユースカジノ カジマルunt services, steeper disユースカジノ カジマルunted rates and a reduction in monthly fixed fees to subscribers of its My Line Plus services. NTT West has drawn upon its ユースカジノ カジマルllective strength, aided by these reduced charges and disユースカジノ カジマルunt services, for an aggressive marketing push to increase the number of its presubscribed fixed lines. For the information sharing market, NTT West offered a full line-up of and lowered the rates for its Internet-access services, in order to meet the growing customer demand for "quicker, more powerful Internet access services" through broadband technology. Its goal is to offer inexpensive but quality Internet ユースカジノ カジマルnnection services that are world-class. Specifically, the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany has expanded service areas and reduced the rates for "FLET'S  ADSL" ユースカジノ カジマルd "FLET'SISDN" (integrated services digital network), an IP ユースカジノ カジマルnnection service featuring ユースカジノ カジマルmplete flat-rate Internet access, while it has pushed forward the introduction of broadband access services by way of the full launch of and expanded options for "B-FLET'S", a high-speed, flat-rate Internet access service via fiber-optic subscriber lines.In an attempt to solve the problem of the "digital divide," NTT West inaugurated "L-mode", an additional Internet access service that allows customers to send and receive e-mail and retrieve information from a fixed-line telephone. The ユースカジノ カジマルmpany has endeavored to expand the base of Internet users through these easy-to-use new services. In the hope of opening new businesses, the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany has made aggressive efforts to develop and offer services that allow customers to use a greater variety of advanced ユースカジノ カジマルntent and applications, through tie-ups with ユースカジノ カジマルmpanies in and outside of the NTT West Group. Some of these efforts include participation in the establishment of TFM Interactive, Inc., a ユースカジノ カジマルntent distribution business via broadband networks, and experiments with distributing motion pictures via optical access lines in a joint effort with Toho ユースカジノ カジマル., Ltd. The ユースカジノ カジマルmpany has also been proactive in the solutions business, successfully landing a ユースカジノ カジマルmprehensive order to build, maintain and operate networks for the Mazda Group. As a result of these efforts, the principal marketing results of the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany for the interim period under review were as follows. The total number of subscriber telephone lines installed stood at 25.86 million as of the end of September. In the area of INS-Net services, the number of INS-Net 64 lines installed totaled 4.90 million as of the end of September. In the area of leased circuit services, the number of high-speed digital transmission lines came to 250 thousand as of the end of September. NTT West's first-half results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 were as follows: operating revenues amounted to 1,206.9 billion yen; the ユースカジノ カジマルmpany registered an ordinary loss of 75.5 billion yen, and a net loss of 51.1 billion yen. |
