 NIPPON TELEGRAPH & TELEPHONE CORP - NTT Annual and Transition Report (foreign private issuer) (20-F) ITEM 4-INFORMATION ...
In 1953, the predecessor corporation's international division, which operated Japan's international telephone, telegraph and related telecommunications services, was transferred to a separate corporation, Kokusai Denshin Denwa Co., Ltd. ("KDD") (which became KDDI after it merged with DDI Corporation ("DDI") and IDO Corporation in October 2000).
IP telephone businesses have the advantage of attracting customers on the basis of price in the long distance communications market, and if these companies are able to increase their subscriber base, NTT Communications' revenues from usage fees may fall.
The index for telephone subscriber services and ISDN services was set at 92.7, and the index for leased circuit services was set at 89.3 for NTT East and 90.1 for NTT West, with a base index of 100.0 being the rates for these services as the reference time of April 2000.
