<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''NTT''', or the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporations (日本電信電話株式会社), is the largest telecommunications company in Japan for both its standard phone service and its cell phone service, NTT [[DoCoMo]]. In addition to being the largest phone company in Asia, it is the 40th most successful company and second largest phone company in the world. <br />
==History==<br />
The Japanese phone industry used to be solely run by the [[Japanese government]] as early as 1953, but the company itself was privatized by the same group in 1985. Despite its privatization, and despite the company being listed on the [[Tokyo]], London and New York stock markets, the company is still partially owned by the Japanese government and majority owned by NTT. <br />
==Overview==<br />
NTT is technically the holding company. The phone industries itself are divided into [[NTT East]], [[NTT West]], and [[NTT Communications]] which covers the long distance and international phone calling. In addition, NTT Docomo covers the mobile phone aspect of NTT. NTT also runs [[NTT Data]], which is a company that creates technology driven organizational systems. <br />
<br />
NTT also invests in other companies outside of Japan, though not all of those investments have worked out in their favor. For example, NTT Docomo invested in AT&T but had to pull out at a significant financial loss. Despite that, NTT has invested in other telecommunications companies such as U-Mobile Asia (which is a mobile phone service in Malaysia). <br />
<br />
In terms of overall revenue, NTT has the majority of its money coming in from NTT Docomo, with over 6 billion [[yen]]. NTT East is next, where it has 3.75 trillion yen in assets along with 5,860 employees. NTT West is a close third with 3.61 trillion yen in revenue followed by NTT Communications with 1.3 trillion yen, and NTT Data with 1.19 trillion yen (but over 23,000 employees). All 5 constitute the NTT group and have, combined, over 18 trillion yen (approximately 174 billion US dollars) and almost 200,000 employees. The NTT Holdings group than runs it has 7 trillion yen in assets of its own.<br />
