FTTH in JapanProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: Information Gatekeepers Inc Published: September 2003 Product Code: R403-59 Description IT Strategy Headquarters, which was formed in Japan based on the "Basic Law on the Formation of an Advanced Information and Telecommunications Network Society," announced its "e-Japan Priority Program" on January 22, 2001. Its objective is to promote the establishment of the world's most advanced Internet networks within five years, with the aim of providing high-speed always-on access networks to at least 30 million households and ultra high-speed always-on access to 10 million households.
While the number of ADSL subscribers had been rapidly increasing, the number of FTTH subscribers was only 200,000 at end of 2002, growing much less than expected. The "e-Japan Priority Program" aims to provide ultra high-speed always-on access (FTTH) to 10 million households by the end of 2005. Usen Broad Networks started to provide 100Mbps FTTH services on March 2001, and NTT East & West followed on July 2001. Local power utility companies also started to provide FTTH services during 2001.
