Japan Telecommunications Report Q3 2016 - New Report Available

Japan's telecommunications industry is one of the most developed globally, as characterised by high - speed internet connections. Continued growth is largely attributable to operators' success in pursuing multi-device strategies. However, the country's economic slowdown brings considerable downside risks to this strategy ; which relies on high levels of disposable income . We believe that the future of the Japanese mobile and telecommunications market as a whole will be driven by advanced technologies such as M2M, Internet of Things (IoT), connected cars and smart devices. With very high rates of 3G/4G penetration, virtually 100%, recent new subscriber growth is largely reflective of the very high degree of technological and new device innovation uptake in the country, rather than traditional and conventional cellular telephone users.
