JAPAN CATCHING UP ON BROADBAND
Japan ranks third in the number of broadband subscribers, behind the United States and South Korea, but currently boasts the cheapest broadband access charges in the world.
The Telecommunications Ministry said in an annual white paper that 60 million Japanese (nearly half the population) will be surfing the Net on high-speed broadband networks by 2007. This compares with about 20 million now.
:. Revenues from broadband services, including delivery of content such as sound and video, will surge fivefold to 10.2 trillion yen by 2007.
:. Internet security services will be one of the biggest growth areas, with annual revenues in that market to grow fourfold to almost two trillion yen over the same period. Japanese biggest Internet security service provider is Trend Micro Inc. ($1=118.20 yen)
