History
In 1870, the Ministry of Communications launched a telegraph service between Tokyo City and Yokohama City.
On July 31, 1952, the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation Act was enacted. Based on this Act, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (“Dendenkosha” for short), which would later become the core company of NTT, was set up on August 1, 1952 to promote widespread use of telephone services in Japan as a state-owned special corporation.
Telephone and communications services were expanded throughout Japan during the country’s period of rapid economic growth and, in 1985, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation was privatized. To streamline its structure and expand its business domains, NTT founded a subsidiary for each line of business and established NTT.
Sales
NTT’s sales (operating revenues) reached approximately 12.15 trillion yen in March 2022. (as of March 31, 2022).
We carried out the “Your Value Partner 2025” NTT Medium-Term Management Strategy based on the business of each existing group company. This included expanding our global cloud services, streamlining our high value-added network business, pursuing collaboration with a wide range of operators, and expanding our B2B2X business. As a result, we recorded our highest ever revenue and profits to date.
Employees
Approximately 330,000 employees work at NTT. NTT now has over 900 related companies making it a global enterprise that delivers ICT services across the world.
R&D
NTT has registered approximately 17,000 patents to date. In response to market globalization and intensifying competition in technology development, we have effectively combined our and other companies’ technologies, thereby efficiently and strategically spreading technologies as we grow our business.
Almost no other telecommunications company around the world has its own research and development division.
This is one more thing that sets NTT at a cut above the rest.
Toward 2025
As an initiative for smart cities, 5G, and technological development, NTT is currently promoting the activities of the IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) Global Forum along with related companies. Together, we work to envision our future society and act to realize the IOWN concept.
NTT has made drastic changes to its business, including building up the telephone services that it has provided since its establishment, a shift to mobile services and broadband as the Internet came into wider use, and development in its global business that continues to grow to this day.
In an era that requires solutions for even more complex problems, NTT will advance and look further ahead, carrying out bold reforms, and continuing to serve as “Your Value Partner” for customers and society in general.
CEO Message
Akira Shimada, President and Chief Executive Officer,Member of the Board
My name is Akira Shimada, and I was appointed as President and CEO of NTT in June of 2022. As the future economic situation and business environment remains unclear, we hope to create a path forward by proactively responding to changes and challenges, while transforming ourselves.
The NTT Group’s business has been evolving. Forty years ago, when I joined NTT, we only had the telephone business, but now voice-related service revenues account for only 15% of our operating revenues. I will take swift action to reconfigure our resources and add new ones with a strategic focus on global changes.
I want the NTT Group to become a company that connects data to create new value for people, business and society. In addition to introducing new products and services in our existing business areas, we must also add completely new business areas to complement them.
I believe that data is the key to this endeavor. We will create new added value by leveraging our strong ability to accumulate and analyze information. For example, in our efforts to support the medical field, manufacturing industries, business services and primary industries such as agriculture, livestock, and fisheries with ICT technology, we can acquire a variety of new data and structure it for analysis to make better decisions, thereby connecting data to create new value.
We need to apply our technology and innovation to many fields and collaborate with our partners to solve social issues. I want to dynamically transform ourselves and deliver new experiences, value and excitement to our customers.
