In FY 2010, our global business achieved sales of 4.8 billion US dollars, and the 2012 target of 10 billion US dollars was achieved one year ahead of schedule. Going forward, we will be striving to further expand our global business on the back of partnerships with overseas subsidiaries.
In terms of our support for global companies' business development, the NTT Group develops its businesses by focusing on efforts to "Reinforce Our Service Lineup" and "Expand the Service Coverage Area." The NTT Group is highly evaluated as one of the best in customer satisfaction. Against the backdrop of the current trend of providing the support capability to satisfy customers being increasingly important, the NTT Group addresses customer needs meticulously by offering comprehensive ICT services. To this end, we fuse each Group company's strengths and pursue synergies created by the acquisition of Dimension Data Holdings plc, etc.
The number of mobile phone contracts worldwide has reached approximately 5.9 billion and is still increasing. The NTT Group aggressively promotes network infrastructure by reinforcing partnerships with local carriers in Asia and other regions where the number of mobile phone users is increasing. In countries where the mobile phone market is saturated, we expand and reinforce value-added services such as the distribution of comics using the platform of our German subsidiary net mobile AG. NTT has started offering global-scale new services in the cloud technology age.
