Japanese Telecommunications: Market and Policy in Transition: Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia

Editat de Ruth Taplin, Masako Wakui
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 ian 2006
Presenting a comprehensive survey of the telecommunications industry in Japan, Taplin and Wakui cover the different sectors of the industry – including mobile, broadband and satellite, whilst considering key questions such as the structure and economics of the industry, government policy, and international relations issues connected to the industry.
The volume brings together unique analysis by renowned experts in the telecommunications field. One major overall problem is that, unlike many other industries, Japan has lagged behind other countries in telecommunications. Japanese Telecommunications considers why this should be so, showing how far this is attributable to an unmodernized industry structure, and assessing the measures being taken to address the problem.
After over a decade of struggle, Japan has recorded rapid uptake of broadband, and Japanese advanced mobile services have become increasingly successful on a global scale. Japan has also undergone regulatory reform, and competition policy is now given top priority by government. Taplin and Wakui examine the most recent developments and provide signposts for the future.

'Business, economics, communications, and politics are among the disciplines represented by scholars from Japan and Europe who analyze the current Japanese telecommunications market and regulations within an internationally grounded framework and conceptual structures. Among their topics are the broadband market, changing satellite systems, spectrum policy, policy network for network policy, and the difficult role of the Japanese negotiator in the access charge negotiations with the US.'  - Reference & Research Book News
