In addition, since March 2010 SOFTBANK has started showing lists of progress on customer requests, with corresponding Twitter posts by the representative of the SOFTBANK Group, Masayoshi Son such as, “Let's do it” or “Let's consider it”.

I would like to know more about the SOFTBANK Group-backed “New Broadband Super Highway (Hikari-no-ichi)”.
“New Broadband Super Highway (Hikari-no-michi)” concept is a new growth strategy by the Government to significantly change economy and social system of Japan by installing optical broadband network throughout the country.
Japan's new growth strategy was announced on June 18, 2010, and New Broadband Super Highway concept was considered as a key to revitalize Japan.
On August 31, 2010, an outline of New Broadband Super Highway strategy was announced which aims to accelerate development and utilization of infrastructure, and make broadband service available in every household by the year 2015.
Please refer to the site below for more details.
Why does the SOFTBANK Group support New Broadband Super Highway?
The SOFTBANK Group believes that the realization of New Broadband Super Highway is the key to revitalize the international competitiveness of Japan as an IT nation.
Japan has been developed by promoting various kinds of infrastructure such as electricity, gas, water, telecommunication, railway, and so on. This infrastructure was built by people with a great vision for the future of Japan, and it became a base for the prosperity of Japan today.
Living in the 21st century, what kind of infrastructure can we hand down to the future generation? The answer is New Broadband Super Highway, optical fiber network which enables super high speed and large volume data communication. The SOFTBANK Group believes New Broadband Super Highway will bring a dramatic change in all kinds of industries, culture and life, and create a totally new lifestyle for the 21st century.
It is important to realize this New Broadband Super Highway now for the growth of Japan. If not now, Japan loses its competitiveness while other countries keep on growing. The SOFTBANK Group supports New Broadband Super Highway concept for the better future of Japan as a Japanese company, and as an Internet company who aims for the Information Revolution. We hope more and more Japanese people understand the discussion on New Broadband Super Highway which is necessary for the future of Japan, and express opinions.
What kind of CSR activity does the SOFTBANK Group do?
The SOFTBANK Group strives to meet the expectations of the public through business activities that contribute to society based on the concept of Information Revolution - Happiness for everyone as stated in the corporate philosophy of the Group. The SOFTBANK Group fulfills its social responsibility as an Internet company with regard to making people smile and creating a happy society through the Internet, which nobody except SOFTBANK can realize.
