Japan Telecommunications Report Q4 2010
Published on September 2010

Report Summary

In BMI's latest update of Japan's telecommunications market, we have provided latest mobile and 3G data for the quarter ended June
2010, leading to a revision in the latter's forecasts. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has also published new
data for fixed-line and broadband subscribers for the quarter ended March 2010, and which also led updated forecasts. There were a
total of 111.153mn 3G subscribers in Japan at the end of June 2010. This accounted for 94.3% of total mobile subscribers at
117.813mn. Over the year ended June 2010, the number of 3G subscribers grew by 8.9% y-o-y, while in terms of overall mobile
subscribers, this increased by just 4.2% y-o-y. This reveals that 3G continues to push overall growth of the market. A major reason for
this is the closure of the operators' 2G networks, as they look to migrate their entire customer bases to 3G networks.
As this report was due to be published, it was announced that Softbank Mobile will see competition in terms of the Apple iPhone 4.
Until August 2010, the handset had been responsible for winning Softbank Mobile not only net additions ' in the quarter ended June
2010, its share of the net additions market reached over 50% ' but also saw the operator report the strongest and positive growth in
terms of over the quarter and year ended Q210 for blended ARPU. Competition will arrive from Japan Communications, which has an
MVNO agreement with NTT DoCoMo, and will start offering SIMs that can be used with the iPhone.
However, Softbank Mobile should not be too concerned over seeing any immediate impact on its net additions or ARPU from the
entrance of Japan Communications. This is because the cost of the SIM is over JPY5,280 per month for unlimited data but does not
include the cost of voice calls. Compare this with Softbank Mobile, which has an iPhone price plan for as little as JPY980, while
unlimited data packages start from around JPY2,500. In addition, the iPhone must be unlocked before it can be used with a Japan
Communications iPhone handset, which means that only those customers who purchased a handset online or abroad may take
advantage. Japan still does not offer unlocked handsets. That said, NTT DoCoMo announced it had decided to offer unlocked mobile
phones in Japan from April 2011. The broadband sector, meanwhile, revealed a total of 32.04mn subscribers as of March 2010. The
bulk of connections were FTTH, which has also helped continue to drive broadband growth. BMI has also revised its forecast for
broadband, and believes that the market will grow by 6.3% year-on-year (y-o-y) to reach 33.768mn by 2010, before rising at an
annual average rate of 9.4% to reach 49.729mn subscribers by 2014.
