Why has broadband diffusion advanced?
2002-20052002-2005 New entry of Softbank was a large trigger in diffusion of DSL.
Low charges, Powerful marketing …
2006-2006-Owing to the recapture strategy of the largest telecom provider NTT, the shift to optical fiber has advanced.
Cash back campaign, Visits to individual homes …

Quake’s distinguishing features
1. Geographical scopeDamage over wide area (over 500 km north to south)
2. Combination of damaging effectsEarthquake, tsunami, nuclear accident
3. Long-term natureProtracted nature of work to contain and reduce impact of incident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power PlantImpact on power supply/demand and energy policy

Emergency reconstruction measures required
1. Support for victims2. Measures to deal with Fukushima Daiichi3. Regional reconstruction and industrial regeneration4. Action on power supply and demand5. Promotion of disaster preparedness measures in light
of the quake’s effects

Damage to telecoms and status of recovery- Extensively damaged but 99% restored 1.5 months later -
Fixed lineFixed line MobileMobile
33% of lines in Tohoku region (1 million) unavailable
Immediate aftermath
NowAt least 99% recovery rate at exchange office building level, but many access lines still unavailable
21% of Tohoku and Kanto base stations (148,000) knocked out
99% of base stations back in operation

State and causes of damage to mobile network- Loss of power was major cause of damage (base stations’
rechargeable batteries expired, exchanges ran out of fuel to generate own electricity)
Base station Exchange office building Network
• Failures due to power stoppage: 70%
• Collapse of base stations: 5%
• Severance of cables: 10%

Lessons of the quake(1) Strong need for mobile networks
• 50- to 60-fold increase on ordinary demand immediately following quake
• Problems posed by congestion and power loss• Rapid recovery despite quake damage• Microwave connection of sites affected by severed
cables

Lessons of the quake(2) Effectiveness of data transmission
• Effectiveness of email• Disaster message board, Area Mail Disaster
Information Service• Consideration of launch of message service based
on use of audio files

Lessons of the quake(3) Access to diverse power sources
• Power stoppages were major cause of mobile network failures
• Importance of measures such installation of PV systems and large-capacity rechargeable batteries, as well as commercial power sources
• Terminals’ lack of battery capacity also an issue
