Appeal for Opinions on Draft Change of Interconnection Tariff relating to Category I Designated Telecommunications Facilities of NTT East and NTT West

1.Outline of modification plan

  The number of carriers that are allowed to realize connections using the IPoE system (native system) which is one of the connection systems to provide Internet connection services by IPv6 in NGN provided by NTT East and NTT West (hereinafter “IPoE connections”), has been restricted to three due to technical constraint immediately after the commencement of connections. However, as new technical measures were implemented, it has become possible to increase the maximum number of carriers that offer IPoE connections. In response to this, the connection agreement will be modified to approve applications for connection related to IPoE connections.
