Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a comprehensive survey of the telecommunications industry in Japan. It covers the different sectors of the industry - including mobile, broadband and satellite - and considers key questions such as the structure and economics of the industry, government policy, and international relations issues connected to the industry. The volume brings together unique analysis by renowned experts in the telecommunications field. One major overall problem is that, unlike many other industries, Japan has lagged behind other countries in telecommunications. The book considers why this should be so, showing how far this is attributable to an un-modernized industry structure, and assessing the measures being taken to address the problem. After over a decade of struggle, Japan has recorded rapid uptake of broadband, and Japanese advanced mobile service shave become increasingly successful on a global scale. Japan has also undergone regulatory reform, and competition policy is now given top priority by government. This book examines the most recent developments and provides signposts for the future.
