The Yahoo! BB service led the broadband revolution at SoftBank, and since its launch in 2001 has enjoyed wide uptake by customers throughout Japan.
In addition to Internet access services such as Yahoo! BB hikari with FLET'S, SoftBank BB currently provides optional services such as low-cost IP telephony services (BB Phone) and Wi-Fi services (public wireless LAN, Wi-Fi Multipack, wireless LAN pack) as well as broadband TV broadcasting (BBTV) and security services (BB Security).
We will continue to provide services that enrich people's lives, while finding innovative ways to capture synergies with the Mobile Communications segment — through including sales of ADSL in combination with SoftBank smartphones, enhancing Wi-Fi access points (BB Mobile Point) that can be used with smartphones, and other such measures.
