	CNN.com - Japan Telecom, China Telecom dial a deal - June 12, 2001
		Japan's number-three telco told CNN it signed a memorandum of understanding with China Telecom last week in Beijing to establish a comprehensive tie-up in mobile, fixed-line and Internet services.
		The tie-up boosts Japan Telecom's competitiveness in the wireless world as bigger rivals KDDI and NTT DoCoMo expand in the region.
		Japan Telecom's existing relationship with mobile giant Vodafone also readies the telco for a more significant regional presence.

	Japan Telecom
		Japan Telecom argues that customers seeing its advertising are familiar with a convention of using the word "Japan" in a business' name to indicate that the business caters to Japanese-speaking customers.
		Because Japan Telecom can only perform its services in person and on customer premises, it is hard to see how a reasonable customer could conclude that the technician installing his new phone wiring just came off a jet from Tokyo, equipped with the very latest in Japanese wiring know-how.
		Similarly, while Japan Telecom has been using its name since 1984 (and, for most of that time, exclusively), there is no evidence that it has used it in such a way that any more than a small set of buyers has gained any familiarity with it.

	TED Case: USJAPANCONNECT
		This case study explores the bilateral negotiation between Japan and the United States of America regarding to the deregulation of Japan's telecommunication market, especially interconnection rates that are said to be relatively high compared to that of other countries and work as quasi-trade barriers for foreign telecommunication carriers that intend to enter Japan's market.
		Japan telecom argued that the irrationally high interconnection rates was a quasi-barrier for NCCs to enter the market, and thus it allowed the NTT to preserve monopolistic status in the market.
		To finish the severe debate for the reduction of the interconnection rates in Japan, on June 30th, MPT announced that it would accept the proposal that the United States suggested in March, that is, to achieve the 22.5% reduction of the rates within two years.

		In 1950, Japan's population pyramid was textbook-typical with a relatively large youth population and a relatively small elderly population.
