In Japan, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) has developed a program to update the phone (56 kbit / s) for ISDN (64 kbit / s), fiber to the home (FTTH) connections. In accordance with the program, NTT has been promoting ISDN lines primarily to home users, some users of the company to transfer the phone access to FTTH service, despite the costs. By the end of 1990, as the "White Paper" published by BBG Communications, cable television companies to sell their own products Banda Ancha. Nevertheless, it is an inexpensive cost of installation of the service was unpopular, which is cheaper options.
A company, Tokyo Metallic, began asymmetric digital subscriber line in 1999. This was the signal for the NTT and some other companies to follow. SoftBank its ADSL service in 2001. Softbank offers a ridiculously low price of 3000 yen, or half the price of its competitors. Even hard-line sale of land in society, as a consequence of the curve most of the market. A price war, Softbank and the decline in the prices of competing companies, and often offer a higher rate for our clients. Thus, in 2004 Japan was the least expensive service, DSL around the world, and differences in subsequent years.
Even if that happens, and electricity companies NTT FTTH areas expand. In most cities, people have the opportunity to FTTH, ADSL, but is still the norm. Nevertheless, the large decline in the price and zero cost helped convince users of FTTH. Many newly constructed homes ready FTTH almost without cables. In 2005, Kansai Electric Power started 1 Gbit / s FTTH service in the United States 90 September 2000, the MIC ordered the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, the current operator of unbundling its local loop copper. The prize was taking into account the fact that the cost of telephone services. Other small businesses can afford the rising costs of production, in recent times.
In 2000, the rules that other businesses to work within the institution, and NTT, and regulate the conditions of their service. In 2001, NTT is to make its fiber-optic networks between points of exchange. Finally, NTT East and NTT West ban on the sale on the Internet.
Softbank, Japan's largest Internet service providers in 2001 to service its DSL, Yahoo! BB "and spend a fortune on the DSL in 2003 award, the largest operator of ADSL to the present. In 2004, 52.1% of households connected to the Internet, with more than 50% of broadband users. In March 2005, more than 13.6 million DSL customers. FTTH recovery was rapid, with the participation of suppliers, as TEPCO, attached: KDDI and NTT. FTTH three million customers in March 2005, and perhaps even overtake ADSL in 2007. Japanese construction of a fiber-optic systems is a very unique . the last mile, as a rule, is in the air from the tower, the suppliers, rather than respect. This type of distribution to reduce vulnerability to earthquakes and reduces costs.
An unusual problem is that Japan has to do with the broadband sector by difficulties in securing sufficient capacity to allow users to use their services to bear. Even the largest operators actually deliver ten gigabits, but also because they have thousands of customers for FTTH continues, it becomes a problem. This situation is exacerbated by the restrictions caused by the router. It is calculated on the basis of data for the period from May 2007, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, with an average circulation of about 720 Gbit / s and it is very likely that in May 2008, a turnover of over 1 Tbit / c
