Information and communications services are expected to make significant contributions to invigorating and increasing the efficiency of social and economic activities, improving lifestyle convenience and vitalizing local economies through advances in the development of new technologies such as AI, Big Data, and IoT. Accordingly, the government and the private sector are working in partnership to achieve the development of a new ICT-oriented society.
Moreover, the information and telecommunications market is undergoing structural changes as a result of the shift to broadband and globalization, as well as the spread of smart devices and social media, leading to increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs and patterns of usage. There have also been changes in market structure, including an increase in the utilization of Big Data and IoT as well as an expansion of platform services and cloud services. Regional telecommunications markets are also undergoing significant changes due to competition between the providers of fiber-optic access-based line services and cable television-based broadband services, competition between the various services made available by faster mobile connections, the convergence of fixed and mobile services and of telecommunications and broadcasting, and the convergence of services through the use of a diverse range of wireless devices.
Within this challenging and dramatically changing business environment, NTT West strove to ensure its reliability and fairness in telecommunications by, for example, promoting the smooth migration to optical, IP-based networks and enhancing the fiber-optic access network that is the base of broadband services, while continuing to provide high-quality, stable universal services.
NTT West also aimed to realize a broadband network environment that enables customers to connect ¥anytime, anywhere, and with anyone or anything, in comfort, safety, and with peace of mind, and to provide various reasonably priced calling plans that match each customer's patterns of usage, and a wide range of services.

NTT West continued to proactively offer alliances and solution proposals to companies and local governments as it did in the previous year, and has been deploying “Smart Hikari Solutions최신 카지노 게임dquo; to satisfy regional customers최신 카지노 게임squo; needs through the utilization of ICT.
Some of the new service developments through alliances included collaborating with Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd, to carry out a field trial of remote operations on water supply management, water levels, and temperature control in agricultural settings to test the utilization of LPWA (low-power, wide area) networks that can cover a wide area at low power consumption, as required for IoT, which aims to connect everything through the internet.
