 Japan - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Entering 2011, Japan had over 35 million broadband lines in place, making it the third largest broadband country in the world after the US and China. Much of the success of broadband in Japan is owed to the stunning growth surge that occurred back in 2003 on the back of DSL broadband technology. Since then Japan has established the second largest FttX market at around 30% of the world market after China which represents about 40% of the world market. These infrastructure deployments and the move to Next Generation Network architecture have driven VoIP subscriptions to nearly 25 million with Softbank and NTT taking the market lead. Japan has also been an early adopter of triple-play models which provide TV, broadband Internet and voice telephony as packaged services from a single provider. This report provides an overview of the broadband market and the available access methods - including cable modem, DSL, FttX and wireless broadband. BuddeComm forecasts on broadband and FttH are included up to 2016.

Japan - Key Statistics, Telecom Market, Regulatory Overview and Forecasts
Synopsis
Japan's telecommunications sector is one of the most active markets in the world. Entering 2011 the country was witnessing the continued growth of VoIP and strong competition among the mobile operators in the 3G segment of the market. Japan had also become the fourth country to introduce LTE services with NTT DoCoMo leading the charge. Especially noteworthy has been the continued strong uptake of FttH services (with a corresponding move away from DSL) and the big strides taken in developing digital and mobile broadcasting. The telecommunications regulatory authorities in Japan have been very active in shaping the industry in this country. The control that the incumbent operator, NTT Corp, has continued to exert over virtually all local customers remains a particular challenge for the regulator. This report presents a range of key statistical indicators and fixed-line forecasts to 2016 as well as an overview of the Japanese telecommunications regulatory environment.

Japan - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Entering 2011 there were over 117 million mobile subscribers in Japan with around 98% of these using 3G services. The overall Japanese mobile market remains in a dynamic period of activity, especially given the evident popularity of 3G services, now in its 10th year of operation. NTT DoCoMo still has a dominant market share, benefitting from its monopoly status years before. However, in hot pursuit are KDDI, Softbank and smaller operator eMobile which added another one million subscribers during 2010. While fighting for a bigger share in a saturated market, the operators continue to put more weight behind their data services to make up for declining revenue from phone calls. Softbank is taking advantage of its position as the sole carrier for the iPhone and the iPad in Japan. However, the other operators have started to introduce Android based smartphones in order to drive data communication revenue.
This report examines one of the world's top mobile markets. Japan became the fourth country in the world to deploy Long-term Evolution (LTE) technology in 2010. This report provides an overview of Japanese mobile technologies and an update on mobile data and content services. Forecasting on mobile subscribers is provided up to 2016, as well as extensive operator statistics.

Japan - Telecommunications Infrastructure
Synopsis
Although NTT still dominates Japanese telecoms infrastructure, KDDI and Softbank are steadily taking steps to compete more efficiently and effectively with NTT, and in the past year have seen a substantial advantage over the incumbent in net additions to their networks. All operators have moved to IP-based Next Generation Networks after substantial investments. The replacement alone of the domestic fixed-line telephone network with a fully IP-based system was at a cost of around ¥50 billion.
The fixed-line telecoms business in Japan has been undergoing a major transformation as the traditional telephony voice services move into decline. The growing popularity of IP telephony in particular has dealt a blow to fixed-line giant NTT's traditional business model. This report examines Japanese national infrastructure and international infrastructure including submarine cables, and an overview and statistics for CATV, satellite TV and digital terrestrial TV markets. Cloud computing investments have also been included.
