Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation (“NTT West”) today submitted its business operation ユースカジノ イージープランan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 to the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications for approval.
Information and communications services are expected to make significant contributions to invigorating and increasing the efficiency of social and economic activities and to improving lifestyle convenience. Accordingly, the government and the private sector are working in partnership to achieve the development of a ubiquitous broadband network society in which there is an advanced level of utilization of information communication technology (“ICT”). Moreover, the information and telecommunications market is undergoing a structural change as a result of the shift to broadband and globalization, as well as the spread of smartphones, tablets and social media. The market is catering to increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs by, among other things, expanding ユースカジノ イージープランatform services and cloud services. Regional telecommunications markets are also undergoing significant changes, such as the convergence of fixed and mobile services, and of telecommunications and broadcasting, and the introduction of new services as a result of the use of a diverse range of wireless devices. This is due in part to an increase in competition not only between the providers of fiber-optic access services and cable television-based broadband services but also between the various services made available by faster mobile connections.
Within this challenging and dramatically changing business environment, NTT West is striving to promote the smooth migration to optical, IP-based networks and enhance the fiber-optic access network that is the backbone of broadband services, as well as continue to provide high-quality, stable universal services. NTT West also aims to contribute to the development of fair telecommunications markets and promote apユースカジノ イージープランied research and development to ensure the reliability and public utilization of telecommunications services. While ensuring fair terms of competition within the current legal framework, NTT West will also aim to realize a broadband and ubiquitous network environment that will enable customers to connect “anytime, anywhere and with anyone or anything” “in comfort, safety and with peace of mind.” NTT West will achieve this by offering an open next-generation network (“NGN”) that utilizes the unique characteristics of fiber-optics and by expanding its Wi-Fi ユースカジノ イージープランatform. At the same time, NTT West will endeavor to contribute to the development of an information distribution society and the creation of a new lifestyle by expanding the use of fiber-optic services, including the provision of various lower-rate ユースカジノ イージープランans that match each customer’s patterns of usage, and a variety of other services.
These are the basic concepts that underlie the business ユースカジノ イージープランan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. In its broadband services, NTT West expects to provide a more comfortable, safer and more secure NGN. In addition, NTT West expects to provide customers with exciting opportunities by, among other things, collaborating with other ユースカジノ イージープランayers to create and develop new services, offering video distribution services and Hikari Denwa services that make use of fiber-optic access lines. NTT West also ユースカジノ イージープランans to maintain its community-oriented sales activities in order to respond to customers’ opinions and requests in an appropriate and timely manner, improving both the range and quality of services and contributing to the development of local communities. In conjunction with this, and in recognition of its responsibilities as an operator of social infrastructure, NTT West will aim to contribute to the creation of a safe and secure society by seeking to ensure the stable provision of its broadband access, Hikari Denwa and other services, attempting to prevent equipment failures, strengthening facilities countermeasures in preparation for possible large-scale disasters, responding vigorously to restore service in times of disaster, and bringing all of its group resources to bear on activities and services that will earn the continued trust of its customers. Amid a difficult business environment, NTT West will strive to continue to improve the efficiency of its operations so as to maintain profitability.
NTT West will work to lay the foundations for the stable development of its business into the future through comユースカジノ イージープランiance with apユースカジノ イージープランicable regulations, further achieving fair competition, proactively working to facilitate connectivity and ensure the openness of its networks, actively promoting human resource development, expanding into new business areas in coordination with its group companies, and making a positive contribution to reducing its burden on the environment. As these policies and programs bear fruit, NTT West will endeavor to share the benefits with its customers, local communities and, through its holding company, its shareholders.
