In the Regional Communications Business, in addition to strengthening our solutions business which supports the digital transformation (DX) of companies, local governments, and societies to resolve regional social issues, we worked to optimize our service menu by reviewing our business portfolio in addition to expanding our fiber-optic access services.

Details of Main Initiatives

We worked to expand our share of the fiber-optic access service market and improve profits by enhancing competitiveness through the expansion of the service area for the high-speed fiber-optic access service FLET'S Hikari Cross and by strengthening sales of the FLET'S Hikari Next Mansion All-Unit Subscription Services, a bundled plan for multi-dwelling units.
