As shown in the above chart, there are similar 3 services. Although it is <strong>for</strong>ecast<br />

that these will be integrated into one service under the NTT Communications<br />

umbrella, this has not been officially announced and the details have not been<br />

reported as of September 2007.<br />

NTT Goup & NGN<br />

NGN stands <strong>for</strong> Next Generation Network. NTT group is aiming to start the<br />

service using NGN by the end of 2007 or early 2008. In a nutshell, NGN is a<br />

more secure, one stop telecommunications network using IPv6 to take over the<br />

existing network. <strong>The</strong> bandwidth is guaranteed and will be more stable<br />

compared to the existing network. It is said that this network is more<br />

appropriate to deliver images such as TV programmes and movies.
