We will also expand services through partnering, which is our strength, and provide experiences unique to 5G. To achieve early ARPU growth, we will strive to maximize ARPU. We have been behind other nations in terms of 5G deployment, but now we will proactively introduce 5G as well as its usage scenes with an eye to the times beyond 5G.įor the 5G Penetration, we will set the medium-term target of 80%, aiming to increase communications ARPU revenues in the fiscal year ending March 2025 to exceed that of this fiscal year ended March 2022. Network slicing will bring steady communication for each use case and openness and virtualization will also advance network operations. In 5G, arenas to bring about new value will expand with full-scale of Stand-Alone (SA) development. By improving area coverage across Japan, we will also contribute to targets by the government's Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation. To develop areas that will serve 5G, we will expand in areas where people are likely to go to on a daily basis to enable more customers to enjoy 5G comfortably. 5Gįor 5G that will drive growth, we will aim to "blend in" telecommunications to every scene to bring about an era that provides new value with diverse partners. In every domain, we will utilize 5G, which is our strength, and our know-how and partnering from years of experience. In LX, with the hope of transforming lifestyles as the step of Life Design, we will transform people's experiences and activities in daily life by promoting 5G penetration and advancing 5G technologies, while for Regional Co-Creation, we will work on solving the digital divide problem. In finance, we will launch B-to-B-to-X businesses by providing platform services, and in energy, VPP businesses and so forth based on data utilization. For the long-term outlook of the focus areas, in DX we will utilize group assets mainly through 5G, aiming for a positive cycle of our businesses transforming people's lives. Defining the following five domains as focus areas― (1) DX (digital transformation), (2) Finance, (3) Energy, (4) LX (life transformation), and (5) Regional Co-Creation (CATV etc) ―we will accelerate the growth of the new domains, generating synergies with telecommunication at the center. In the new mid-term strategy, we named business strategies "Satellite Growth Strategy." Putting 5G, which is set to expand full-scale, at the center of the strategies, we will advance our telecommunication business and focus areas with telecommunication at the center.
