Japan Inc. Aims To Set International NGN Standard

Article featured in Total Telecom talks about Japan's intentions to  
work towards developing an NGN standard.

"The Japanese government is to urge private telecom carriers to  
upgrade domestic telecoms networks to next-generation IP-based  
telecommunications networks (NGN) by 2007.

According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper, the policy has been  
decided in order to try and push Japanese NGN standards in the hope  
of getting a big slice of the international equipment market for  
Japanese equipment manufacturers.

And from the Nikkei direct "The Ministry of Communications hopes  
Japan will take the initiative in formulating the standards by making  
a proposal early and thus help the domestic industry tap the  
potentially huge global market."
