When doing business over a fiber-optic network, data which would normally take two hours to transmit can be sent in only 5 minutes. This is a dramatic improvement in efficiency, and once experienced there is no going back.

With fiber-optic access, it is possible to download even fairly large amounts of data and pay for content directly by credit card,and such access makes it possible to sell content in real time. This will change the way we live in ways we cannot imagine.

Business models using fiber-optic networks are not just for major cities; models developed in regional cities can be developed as well.

Fiber to the home (FTTH) is a new infrastructure which makes it possible to transmit (massive volumes) of interactive media data,and it will have a revolutionary effect on human industry and the arts.

I sell products over the Web, and the ability of a fiber-optic network to be used to create one's own server to transmit information over the Web offers tremendous advantages and eliminates the problems of maintaining rented server space.

Formerly, Tokyo was the only place where we could promote our own movies and videos, but we can now promote them over a fiber-optic network even in a regional city.

The image quality is greatly improved over that provided by dial-up connections, and it is also possible to view video at full size too.
This is incredible. As an imaging professional, it makes me want to provide greater impact in terms of image quality as well.
