Telecommunications policymaking in Japan: The 1980s and beyond

Telecommunications Policy, 1990, vol. 14, issue 2, 159-168

Abstract: The major law which provided for the privatization of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in 1984 is up for review by the Japanese government in April 1990. Given the continuing domination of Japan's telecommunications market by NTT, ultimate divestiture of the privatized NTT remains a likely outcome of the review. Against this backdrop, this study presents an analysis of the forces which have shaped Japan's privatization and liberalization policy throughout the period 1980-1989, and are likely to lead to additional reforms in Japan's telecommunications system in the course of the upcoming policy review.
