Agencies and directions of Japanese policy

Mitsuru Yokoi

Telecommunications Policy, 1982, vol. 6, issue 4, 258-268

Abstract: A major objective of Japanese telecommunications policy over the past thirty years has been to modify the traditional government monopoly and create a new communications environment. Although the country's internal conflicts and arguments are rooted in its historical and cultural background, a policy consensus is now emerging. In connection with this development, the author describes relevant government agencies and then outlines the major topics of debate relating to the development of Japan into an information-oriented society.
