Inauguration of “Wireless LAN Business Promotion Council”

Background and outline

  The MIC had held the “Study Group on Wireless LAN Business ” (Chairman: Hiroyuki Morikawa, Professor of Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo) since March 2012 to sort out the current status of wireless LAN, extract and organize issues concerning safe and secure use and dissemination of wireless LAN, and deliberate on necessary measures. The Study Group compiled a report in July 2012.
  This report from the “Study Group on Wireless LAN Business ” makes a suggestion that it is beneficial to establish a council for promoting cooperation and coordination through exchange of views and information on various issues surrounding wireless LAN among business operators and make efforts for solving them. Based on this proposal, the inaugural meeting of “Wireless LAN Business Promotion Council” was held on January 31, 2013.
