I feel it's for different reasons ...

It's not fair to compare the telecommunications market in Japan today to the US market of pre-1984.

DOJ's stance creating the Modified Final Judgment (MFJ) made sense at the time - there were no options like cable, cellular and the only real competitor to AT&T was MCI.

There are options in Japan today, customer can purchase 100M fiber for as little as $50.00 a month or 54M ADSL for $30.00.

I think the position is being created by NTT's management not for increased competition but to increase shareholder value while lining their pockets.
