To All: Keep Your Eye on these Foreign Partners.....Deutsche Telekom, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), Telstra and Unisource
My pick is Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT)....
San Jose Mercury News, Sunday November 10, 1996:
(Headline) "World's biggest phone company shackled" - Changing global markets may force Japan to loosen grip on NTT.
Some excerpts from the San Jose Mercury News article:
"NTT is a loathe to get left behind in the quest for international business, particularly once a $42 Billion MCI-British Telecom starts stomping on the globe."
Minister Ichiro Hino (his first direct response to the $20.5 billion buy out of MCI by British Telecom), "Japan is sure to be affected by the global trend of large mergers. We must think more about NTT and other companies developing their overseas operations."

Here are some recent articles regarding NTT and Novell, specifically the development and marketing of the Network Connect Services and integrating Novell's NDS platform into the new "Global Directory Service" standard.
1) Summary: (Nasdaq: NOVL) and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), the largest telecommunications company in Japan, announced today the availability of NTT Network Connect Services (NNCS) based on Novell Directory Services(TM).

2) Summary: adjusted its directory plan for Microsoft Windows NT, Novell detailed plans that emphasize NDS' cross-platform future in addition to forthcoming integration with the Internet and ease of administration and management. Running NDS on as many platforms as possible is at the top of Novell's to-do list, although the goal of porting its directory to Windows NT won't be complete until the middle.
