The MPHPT has been promoting the nationwide penetration
of regional public networks through the project of Intranet infrastructure
construction to link a wide range of facilities including city halls,
schools and libraries through high-speed networks. This is so as to
develop a concrete approach towards becoming the world's most advanced
IT nation, as advocated in the e-Japan Priority Policy Program 2004
(adopted in June 2004 by the IT Strategic Headquarters).
The MPHPT recently decided to offer subsidies within the fiscal
year 2004 budget to regional public bodies to implement construction
of regional Intranet infrastructure, construction of wide-area regional
info-communications network infrastructure, promoting the introduction
of regional Internet, and promoting the installation of an info-communications
system.
