Business Operation Plan for Fiscal Year Ending March31, 2010
In the building of a ubiquitous internet society where ICT is available anytime, anywhere and with anyone or anything, information and communications areexpected to make a substantial contribution to invigorating and increasing the efficiency of socioeconomic activities, enhancing lifestyle convenience and more. Today, the public and private sectors in Japan are working together to make such asociety a reality. With the rapid progress of broadband and ubiquitous services, the market is undergoing dramatic changes and development due to the following factors: in the fixed-line communications field, the expansion of optical fiber accessservices and the resulting progress of service migration from conventional fixed-line to optical IP telephones; in the mobile communications field, the diversification and upgrading of mobile phone services and handsets and an intensifiedcompetitive environment such as price competition and MVNOs entry into the market; the convergence of fixed-line services with mobile services in IP networks as well as of communication services with broadcasting services; and the creation ofvarious new services using networks.
To help ensure that universal services are maintained amid this information and communications environment, NTTintends to provide all necessary advice, mediation, and other assistance to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corporation (the regional companies). It will also endeavor to promoteresearch and development in telecommunications technology in order to respond to societys demands for the development of a ubiquitous internet society.
In addition, under the NTT Groups Road to Service Creation Business Group announced last May, NTT will help enrich communication environments for individuals and communities, make corporate activities more efficient, andcreate new services and business opportunities through ubiquitous broadband networks that provide customers with not only fast and convenient but also safe and secure connections anytime, anywhere and with anyone oranything. To these ends, NTT will provide open network environments enabling a diverse range of service providers and other business entities to create broadband and ubiquitous services and deploy a variety of services taking advantage of thenext-generation network(NGN), while ensuring fair competitive conditions under the framework of the existing laws. In addition, NTT will actively promote alliances with these providers. Through such efforts, NTT intends to contribute notonly toward realization of government initiatives such as the IT New Reform Strategy and u-Japan Policy, but also toward maintenance and enhancement of Japans international competitiveness. NTT will also work to raise corporatevalue by transforming its business structure to a structure centering on IP and solution services and carry out constructive group management for the development of the NTT Group as a whole.
Based upon these fundamental concepts in the management of business operations for the fiscal year ending March31, 2010, NTT will aim: to improve the managementefficiency of the NTT Group operations, including those of the regional companies; to develop new businesses to promote information sharing, including expansion of the ubiquitous broadband market mainly through NGN; and to continue to strengthenresearch and development that will contribute to the advancement of telecommunications, with particular focus on the advancement of NGN, which serves as the foundation of NTTs efforts to achieve the Road to Service Creation BusinessGroup. In this way, NTT will seek to ensure stable development of the NTT Group operations in the future, and to return the fruits of these efforts to customers, shareholders, and the community at large.
Based on the above, under the business operation plan for the fiscal year ending March31, 2010, NTT will conduct its business management by giving priority to thefollowing activities, and will do so in a flexible manner so as to respond to changes in the operating environment.
1. Advice, Mediation, etc.
For the regional companies, NTT will provide all necessary advice, mediation, etc. to ensure the maintenance of high-quality and stable universal services.

Information and telecommunications are expected to make significant contributions to increasing the efficiency of andinvigorating social and economic activities and to improving lifestyle convenience to create the foundations for the ubiquitous broadband network society sought in the u-Japan Policy and the New IT Reform Strategy. Thegovernment and the private sector are working in partnership to achieve such goals. The information and telecommunications market is catering to increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs through the growing shift to broadband capacity foraccess lines. Expanding SaaS (software as a service) services and platform services, including video and music distribution, are broadening the range of offerings. Local telecommunications markets are experiencing an upswing in competition forbroadband access lines with the commercial launch of WiMAX-based wireless access in addition to the expansion of conventional optical access services and cable television-based broadband. Local markets are also undergoing significant changes causedby the integration of fixed-line and mobile services as well as telecommunications and broadcasting along with the increasing prevalence of IP.
Withinthis challenging and dramatically changing business environment, NTT West is striving to provide high-quality, stable universal service to promote the smooth migration to optical, IP-based networks and to enhance the optical access network that isat the core of broadband services. NTT West also aims to contribute to the development of fair telecommunications markets, promote applied research and development and ensure the reliability and public utility of telecommunications services. It isalso endeavoring to contribute to the sound development of the information and telecommunications society, creating a ubiquitous broadband network environment by building and offering an open NGN that, while ensuring fair terms of competition withinthe current legal framework, utilizes the unique characteristics and properties of optical to offer a much wider spectrum of services that will enable customers to connect in comfort, safety and peace of mind withanything, anytime, anywhere.
These are the basic concepts that underlie the business plan for the fiscal year ending March31, 2010. Inits broadband services, NTT West will be building and providing a more comfortable, safer and more secure NGN. In addition, NTT West will be collaborating with other players to create new services that will provide customers with excitingopportunities by offering Hikari Denwa services that make use of fiber optic access lines, rebroadcasting terrestrial digital television and offering on-demand video distribution services. NTT West will also maintain its community-oriented salesactivities so that it is able 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 withthis, and in recognition of its responsibilities as an operator of social infrastructure, NTT West will contribute to the creation of safer, more secure societies by ensuring the stability of its broadband access, Hikari Denwa and other services,preventing equipment failures, responding vigorously in times of disaster and recovery, and bringing all of its group resources to bear on the activities and services that will earn the continued trust of its customers. Although the businessenvironment is becoming increasingly severe, NTT West will continue to improve the efficiency of its operations so as to maintain profitability. NTT West will lay the foundations for the stable development of its business into the future byfacilitating connectivity, ensuring the openness of its networks, developing its human resources and proactively expanding into new business areas in coordination with its group companies. As these policies and programs bear fruit, NTT West willendeavor to share the benefits with its customers, local communities and, through the holding company, the shareholders.

In response to customer requests, we enabled connections between Hikari Denwa and Hikari Denwa Office Typeservices and Navidial calls, an NTT Communications service with the prefix 0570.
(Sept. 2008)
Previously, requests to change credit card information required a written form; now this information can be changed online.
(Oct. 2008)
The Usage suspension notice sent when fixed-line service is suspended has been renamed Usage suspension notice (custody of phone subscription rights) . To make it easier to read, the letters in the proviso ofthe usage suspension explanation have been enlarged.
(Feb. 2009)
Suspension and temporary removal of a phone line are hard to understand with just a website explanation;therefore, only suspension is explained, since it is the subject of the most inquiries; all other matters are handled by calls to 116. Based on customer suggestions, we have posted information online about usage interruption (temporaryremoval) . (Feb. 2009)
I want to make Navidial calls with Hikari Denwa.
I want to change online the credit card used for paying my phone bills.
I received a Usage suspension notice after switching from fixed-line service to Hikari Denwa, but its difficult tounderstand.
The website should have an easy-to-understand explanation of suspension and temporaryremoval of a phone line.
