Emerging Broadband Technologies, Regulatory Issues, and Key Market Trends This Research Brief is part of the Multi-Channel Video Research Service Japan’s broadband industry has seen resounding success in recent years. It owes this achievement to the stunning growth of ADSL in the previous period, and more recently, Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH). In terms of take-rates, FTTH numbers may seem to pale in comparison to ADSL at present, but FTTH is showing signs of proving its worth as a fierce competitor to ADSL. ABI Research expects to see DSL growth hitting its peak very soon, and then take-rates will gradually taper off. Taking its place will be FTTH which is expected to grow rapidly by an average of 14.5% yearly over the next half a decade or so. FTTH will eventually attain a critical mass and replace ADSL in leading the way towards Japan’s bandwidth access future. This study addresses the nature of the broadband market (including ADSL, cable modem, FTTH and WiMAX), the various types of access method, and how the government’s aggressive strategies have acted as a catalyst to growth. It examines how issues that previously impeded take-rates have been resolved. It summarizes the broadband strategies adopted by the government, and what they mean to the industry. The study also delves into price issues, and into the culture and lifestyles of the Japanese consumer population.
