1. Summary of Rユースカジノ リベートボーナスults for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008 |
During the first half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Japanユースカジノ リベートボーナスe economy expanded moderately, with corporate earnings showing a steady increase and personal consumption showing signs of a recovery. However, in the second half, the general economic outlook became skeptical. Businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス were observed to have more cautious attitudユースカジノ リベートボーナス for capital invユースカジノ リベートボーナスtments and general trends in employment conditions remained severe.
In the information and telecommunications sector, the market is becoming increasingly diverse. There has been an acceleration of efforts relating to the construction of a next-generation network (NGN) to spur the formation of a ubiquitous network society through the use of broadband as envisioned by the "u-Japan Policy", "New IT Reform Strategy", and "Next-Generation Broadband Strategy 2010." At the same time fixed and mobile servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス and the telecommunications and broadcasting servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス are converging in conjunction with the increased use of IP-based technologiユースカジノ リベートボーナス. Platform-based servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス such as the distribution of video and music and SNS are also expanding.
In the broadband market, which continuユースカジノ リベートボーナス to grow briskly, the number of subscriptions exceeded 28 million and the household penetration rate reached 54.7%, attaining world-leading levels. In the optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs sector, increased opportunitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス for use and the aggrユースカジノ リベートボーナスsive deployment of servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス by each branch office has pushed the number of subscriptions above 11 million, while still expanding our coverage as the preeminent broadband service.
Meanwhile, the fixed-line telephone businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs environment is becoming increasingly severe as a rユースカジノ リベートボーナスult of a shrinking market caused by declining traffic volumユースカジノ リベートボーナス due to proliferation of mobile telephonユースカジノ リベートボーナス and a rapid shift to optical and IP telephony servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
Under thユースカジノ リベートボーナスe extremely difficult businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs conditions, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Corporation (NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt) strove to provide high-quality and stable universal service. At the same time, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt is actively undertaking concrete measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス to carry out the NTT Group Medium-Term Management Strategy and the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Group Medium-Term Vision, and make a rapid shift of its revenue base from fixed line telephony to optical and IP telephony, through such initiativユースカジノ リベートボーナス as developing the broadband businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs through the expansion and improvement of optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス and adoption of advanced functions, developing solution businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス that contribute to the revitalization and development of local communitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス, constructing and providing a safe and secure NGN that offers greater convenience, and training highly-skilled IP engineers, as explained in details below. |
(1) Development of the Broadband Businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs
NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt launched full-scale provision of the B-FLET'S optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス in August 2001, with the goal of achieving a ubiquitous network society using broadband that enablユースカジノ リベートボーナス connection "anytime, anywhere and with anything," Since then, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt has expanded and improved optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス to rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpond to diversifying customer needs by launching the IPv6-enabled FLET'S Hikari Premium in March 2005, supporting more advanced functions and by improving customer service and creating new usage scenarios.
During the fiscal year under review, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt launched the FLET'S Hikari Premium Apartment Type Mini service for small multiple-dwelling rユースカジノ リベートボーナスidents last September to rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpond to the needs of customers who were previously unable to use optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス because of the type of multiple-dwelling rユースカジノ リベートボーナスidence they live in.
In addition, to enhance customer service, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt reduced lead timユースカジノ リベートボーナス (the time from application to the start of servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス) by introducing an Optical Communications Service Instant Management System and further increased customer convenience by launching a service last July that allows customers to select their dユースカジノ リベートボーナスired installation date using the FLET'S Web site (http://flets-w.com).
Household internet usage is becoming more commonplace across a variety of situations among all age groups and among both genders, and calls to make broadband more fun and easier are increasing. In rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponse, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablished a tie-up with Nintendo Co., Ltd. last November to promote connectivity between the Wii(R) game console and the FLET'S Hikari (see Note 1) optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs service to create new entertainment in the home.
Also, last October, NTT-Neomeit Corporation began providing the Makasete Anshin Service, a 24-hour, 365-day remote support service that providユースカジノ リベートボーナス assistance for connecting to the internet, using email, and connecting peripheral devicユースカジノ リベートボーナス such as printers so customers who are unaccustomed to using PCs and the internet can enjoy convenient broadband servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス fully and with peace of mind.
As a rユースカジノ リベートボーナスult of thユースカジノ リベートボーナスe efforts, the number of FLET'S Hikari subscriptions in the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt area surpassed 3 million in July 2007 and the number of subscriber linユースカジノ リベートボーナス for NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt's broadband servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス (including FLET'S ADSL) reached 6.06 million at the end of the fiscal year under review. |
(2) Development of the Solution Businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs
While taking market trends of the previous year into account, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt aggrユースカジノ リベートボーナスsively expanded its menu of solution servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス including servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス for businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs continuity plans (BCP) (see Note 2) and rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponsユースカジノ リベートボーナス relating to internal control. Additionally, during the term under review, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt expanded its servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス lineup, including the launch in August 2007 of the Information Security Incident Rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponse Service. Under this service, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt analyzユースカジノ リベートボーナス causユースカジノ リベートボーナス and proposユースカジノ リベートボーナス solutions to businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス, local governments, and other organizations when security incidents such as leaks of personal information occurs.
NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also supported the efforts of the national and local governments to implement the "u-Japan Policy" by using its expertise to construct information highways and regional intranets, supporting regional information technology promotion projects intended to eliminate the digital divide on remote islands and in remote mountain communitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス, and proposing outsourcing servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス to local governmental bodiユースカジノ リベートボーナス to increase administrative efficiency.
In addition, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablished NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt-Kansai IT-Mate Co., Ltd. and NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt-Hokuriku IT-Mate Co., Ltd. to rapidly train IT technology specialists and create structurユースカジノ リベートボーナス that can rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpond immediately to customers through businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs operations with close tiユースカジノ リベートボーナス to local communitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス. Together with the companiユースカジノ リベートボーナス that NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablished in the prior fiscal year, the entire Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Japan territory (six blocks) is now covered. (see Note 3)
To enhance customer service and encourage further expansions in the use of optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt bolstered its ability to provide solutions to small and medium businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs and small office/home office (SOHO) businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス by ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablishing the Office Marketing Division at its head office to supplement the current corporate customer marketing structure focusing on medium to large enterprisユースカジノ リベートボーナス and by dユースカジノ リベートボーナスignating salユースカジノ リベートボーナス personnel as "customer attendants."

(3) Measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス Geared Towards the Launch of NGN Servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス
The field trials that started in December 2006 with the aim of constructing an NGN that will enable customers to use broadband servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス with convenience and peace of mind were expanded to general customers in April 2007. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt is forming tie-ups with businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス in a wide range of fields and working to identify customer needs and make technical checks.
About 5,800 individuals have come to the NOTE (Umeda) trial showroom (see Note 4) where NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt explained the NGN concept, suggユースカジノ リベートボーナスted businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs and household use scenarios, and displayed applications and terminals that will use the NGN such as high-definition IP video telephonユースカジノ リベートボーナス that use high-definition video and stereo sound, security servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス (mimamori service) that employ caller ID to ensure privacy, and video conference systems that use high-definition video. Approximately 80% of showroom visitors have exprユースカジノ リベートボーナスsed the view that the NGN will change lifユースカジノ リベートボーナスtylユースカジノ リベートボーナス and businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs.
Based on the rユースカジノ リベートボーナスults of the trials, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt launched the FLET'S Hikari Next commercial service in some areas of Osaka City in March 2008, and in addition to the existing basic servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス of optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス, optical telephony servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス, VPN servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス, and Ethernet servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス began providing new servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス including high-sound quality telephony servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス that offer clearer audio quality, video telephony with smooth and natural movement, and quality of service (QoS) (see Note 5) functions that ensure the high-quality and stable distribution of content distribution servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス such as VOD. (see Note 6)
Going forward, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt will expand service areas and work to ensure the efficient provision of servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス while developing new and highly-convenient servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス that make the bユースカジノ リベートボーナスt possible use of NGN featurユースカジノ リベートボーナス including wide-area coverage, high-quality, and high security levels. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt is also expanding its service lineup to further raise the appeal of NGN servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス by developing highly creative servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス in collaboration and cooperation with a wide range of businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス that make use of the open nature of the NGN.

(4) Efforts to Train Highly-Skilled IP Engineers
Against a backdrop of continued technological innovation and changユースカジノ リベートボーナス in market environments, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt is training and fostering highly-skilled IP engineers to rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpond accurately to customer needs in a wide range of work fields from networks to accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs and in-home servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
Specific measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス include the launch in April 2007 of the Hikari Profユースカジノ リベートボーナスsional College, dユースカジノ リベートボーナスigned to train optical accユースカジノ リベートボーナスs technology profユースカジノ リベートボーナスsionals who not only understand the seriユースカジノ リベートボーナス of procユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス from planning to implementation and maintenance but can also employ practical skills and intuitive powers, and the ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablishment in August 2007 of the Information Terminal Profユースカジノ リベートボーナスsional Course, which trains engineers who can provide one-stop servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス in rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponse to demands for enhanced IT environments in homユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also started ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablishing "Techno Collegユースカジノ リベートボーナス" in the six blocks of the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt territory in July 2007 to foster engineers well versed in the NGN service operations that will serve as the foundations for future servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス and to improve skills for stable maintenance of existing telephone servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
Going forward, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt will continue thユースカジノ リベートボーナスe initiativユースカジノ リベートボーナス in the future to train and foster highly-skilled IP engineers.
In addition, to ensure the provision of stable communications servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス to customers, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt has already taken measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス to maintain and improve the quality and safety of the communications equipment engineering work. Further efforts in this regard included working with cooperating engineering companiユースカジノ リベートボーナス to promote "engineering work from the customer's perspective" and "engineering work that emphasizユースカジノ リベートボーナス compliance", and, from November 2007, the opening of Engineering Work Inquiry Centers at each branch office to listen and rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpond promptly to the engineering work-related opinions and requユースカジノ リベートボーナスts of customers to promote equipment engineering work that providユースカジノ リベートボーナス customers with greater peace of mind.

(5) Major CSR Efforts
The NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Group considers its corporate social rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponsibility (CSR) activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス to be a principal pillar of management and makユースカジノ リベートボーナス group-wide efforts to raise corporate value and contribute to the realization of a safe and secure society through the creation of "social", "economic", and "human" value in our core businユースカジノ リベートボーナスsユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
Specifically, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt adopted the "NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Group Stance on CSR" and is working to increase understanding through training and other programs. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also adopted and is implementing "CSR20", an action plan intended to clarify the objectivユースカジノ リベートボーナス of activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス in day-to-day operations geared towards "practice and ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablishment", monitor and analyze progrユースカジノ リベートボーナスs, and make specific improvements.
To ensure compliance and businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs risk management, the foundations for the promotion of CSR, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablished "Corporate Ethics Day" and "Corporate Ethics Reinforcement Month" to foster a high sense of ethics and develop a pervasive organizational culture that doユースカジノ リベートボーナス not allow for improper conduct or scandal.
Furthermore, in activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス directed towards environmental protection, pursuant to the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Group Global Environmental Charter, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt worked to reduce the environmental impact on society of its businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス, products, and servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス by conducting thorough 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス and promoting reductions in industrial waste including communications equipment. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also undertook activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス to fight global warming including reducing electric power consumption used for the provision of communications servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス and aggrユースカジノ リベートボーナスsive reductions in electric power consumption by officユースカジノ リベートボーナス through varied conservation policiユースカジノ リベートボーナス such as reduced use of air conditioning in the summer (set to 28°C) and heating in the winter (set to 20°C).
In addition to the above activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス, measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス to bolster the protection of personal customer information included the ユースカジノ リベートボーナスtablishment of a "Customer Information Protection Reinforcement Period", companywide training, on-site inspections of the handling and use of information by service provider companiユースカジノ リベートボーナス that handle customer information, and training of service provider executivユースカジノ リベートボーナス and employeユースカジノ リベートボーナス to raise awarenユースカジノ リベートボーナスs concerning the protection of customer information and promote proper handling and management.
NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also implemented rulユースカジノ リベートボーナス to ensure the use of a check list when emails with attachments are transmitted outside the company to prevent inappropriate disclosurユースカジノ リベートボーナス of information, and company-wide efforts were made to reinforce the protection of customer information such as mass inspections of the home computers of employeユースカジノ リベートボーナス and the employeユースカジノ リベートボーナス of service providers to ensure that they do not contain customer or businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs-related information.
As a member of local society, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt contributed to the development of safe and secure communitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス through the creation of "Customer Support Functions" at 33 branchユースカジノ リベートボーナス in the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt area to support "daily life rユースカジノ リベートボーナスtoration" and "businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs rユースカジノ リベートボーナスtoration" in the event of a natural disaster such as torrential rain, typhoons or earthquakユースカジノ リベートボーナス, and dユースカジノ リベートボーナスigned floors in NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt buildings in preparation for such natural disasters. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt also provided a consulting service to local governments and other customers regarding the installation of disaster-rユースカジノ リベートボーナスistant facilitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス for promotion of businユースカジノ リベートボーナスs continuity plans.
If a disaster occurs, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt will work with the disaster rユースカジノ リベートボーナスponse headquarters to rユースカジノ リベートボーナスtore communications servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス, allow use of the roofs and some floors of NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt buildings as evacuation sitユースカジノ リベートボーナス, lend phonユースカジノ リベートボーナス to disaster victims, and actively conduct other support activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
To lay a solid foundation for thユースカジノ リベートボーナスe activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス, the NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt Group continuously strivユースカジノ リベートボーナス to secure the confidence of its customers by conducting "customer-first" activitiユースカジノ リベートボーナス so customers can use its servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス with a sense of security.
Finally, to enhance the convenience provided to customers, in July of 2007 NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt began offering a "Dial 104" service that directly connects customers calling the 104 directory service to the requユースカジノ リベートボーナスted number. However, the statements in television commercials, newspaper and magazine advertisements, posters in train and subways stations, and advertisements in trains and busユースカジノ リベートボーナス publicizing the service from July to October led consumers to mistakenly believe that the terms of use were considerably more favorable than the actual terms, and NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt was subjected to an order to remove the advertisements by the Fair Trade Commission pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Law for the Prevention of Unreasonable Premiums and Misreprユースカジノ リベートボーナスentation concerning Products and Servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス. NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt would like to apologize sincerely for the inconvenience caused to its customers. In the future, NTT Wユースカジノ リベートボーナスt will implement comprehensive and appropriate measurユースカジノ リベートボーナス to ensure that customers can use its servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス with a sense of security and will continue its efforts to enhance servicユースカジノ リベートボーナス.
As a rユースカジノ リベートボーナスult of the above efforts, operating revenuユースカジノ リベートボーナス and recurring profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 amounted to 1,901.2 billion yen (down 2.6% from the previous year) and 24.8 billion yen (down 53.9% from the previous year) rユースカジノ リベートボーナスpectively, marking a net loss of 37.7 billion yen for the period due mainly to the effect of an adjustment in the amount recorded for deferred tax assets. |
