Dominant Regulatory Policy
1 General Obligations
All Telecommunication operators are obliged to provide interconnection
facilities.
2 Asymmetrical Regulations on Bottleneck Facilities
1) Bottleneck Facilities/Essential Facilities
More than 50% of subscriber lines (in each prefecture) .
e.g. Copper cable and telephone switch, Optical-fiber cable, OLT etc
2) Obligations
・ Open up their subscriber lines and network facilities.
・ Unbundling and collocation ,
・ Setting of interconnection tariffs ,
・ Separation of accounts

New Competition Promotion Program 2010
(1) Promotion of Facility-Based Competition
(2) Review of policies covering Interconnection
(3) Review of the Universal Service Obligation,
(4) Review of the regulation
covering the Dominant Carrier.
(5) Network Neutrality

Facility Based Competition
To stimulate competition in the access fiber sector;
1. Ensuring open access to NTT E＆W’s ducts and poles, i.e.
grant of “Right of Way”, is necessary, and
2. Regulations on conditions and procedures are necessary
so that competitors can use them on equal terms with NTT E＆W.

To further promote Facilitybased competition in FTTH

In this respect, simplification and
