1. INTRODUCTION
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corportation (NTT), the principal
telecommunications company in Japan, is one of the world's largest
companies and one of its leading telecommunications companies. NTT was
established more than 100 years ago and currently has 58 million
subscribers and over 500 branches throughout Japan. Globally, the
company has currently more than 3,200 customers of which Japanese
multinational companies are a major group. In Japan, more than 13
laboratories and R&D centers are in charge of basic and applied science,
and system development. Through strategic alliances with companies such
as Microsoft, General Magic and Silicon Graphics, NTT intends to provide
the means for multimedia communications - the interactive blend of
video, animation, sound and text.
This report surveys the history of NTT, and current status related to its
expected breakup into several smaller companies. We also summarize
anticipated plans for international business (one of the most
important consequences of the breakup), especially in Europe.
