 Japan - Broadband - ADSL
By mid-2005, Japan had approximately 14 million ADSL subscribers. Japan led the world in the number of ADSL lines until late 2003 when China surpassed Japan. Softbank, via its Yahoo! BB service, is largely credited with the success of ADSL as a broadband technology in Japan. It further established its dominance as the largest ISP in Japan with the mid-2004 acquisition of fixed-line operator Japan Telecom. NTT Corp and Yahoo! BB are the top competitors in this space. Enthusiasm for ADSL appears to be waning, however, as FttH is being perceived as the hot new broadband service in Japan. This report looks at the impressive growth of ADSL broadband in Japan, the major players and the direction the market is taking.

Japan - Broadband - Cable, FttH, Wireless and Powerline
Despite the fact that the Japanese broadband market is dominated by ADSL, Japan is a world leader in other broadband services, as well. Japan overtook Canada in 2003 as the third largest cable modem broadband country in the world. Besides cable, FttH-based broadband services are experiencing very strong growth, with some FttH services charging less than certain ADSL services in an attempt to attract more subscribers. Entering 2005, there were around 9,000 WiFi hotspots in Japan, with companies such as NTT Com and Livedoor busy establishing more. This report looks at broadband services in Japan other than DSL, such as cable, FttH, WLAN, satellite and powerline.

Japan - Broadband - Market Overview
By June 2005, Japan had 19.7 million broadband lines in place, making it the third largest broadband country in the world after the USA and China (China surpassed Japan earlier in 2004). Much of the success of broadband in Japan is owed to the stunning growth in 2003 of ADSL as a broadband technology. Japan, long considered a laggard in the broadband market, is living up to earlier expectations of becoming a dominant player in broadband use. Other broadband services such as Fibre-to-the-Home (FttH) have also piqued the interest of the Japanese public. This report looks at the nature of the broadband market, the major players and the direction the market is taking.

Japan - Broadcasting - Cable TV
Into 2005, Japanese cable TV operators such as J-COM (which held its IPO in March 2005) are actively pushing triple-play services that include TV, voice telephone and broadband Internet access. In Japan's cable TV industry, many of the small and medium-sized operators have already been swallowed up by the larger ones and some of the larger ones have themselves become targets for acquisition. In an unusual turn of events, satellite DTH broadcaster Sky Perfect entered the cable TV arena via its subsidiary Opticast. This report examines the Japanese cable television industry and addresses the use of cable for triple-play models.
