The applications were revisions to ones submitted by NTT East and West earlier, for which a report (March 31, 2015) from the Information and Communications and Posts Administrative Council concluded that it would be appropriate to approve the applications subject to recalculations of interconnection charges made by NTT East and West based on the report. Accordingly, NTT East and West made recalculations and submitted the applications with amendments made.
