One month has passed since the year of 2008 comes. In Japan, two companies were granted 2.5GHz licenses to build Broadband Wireless Access network towards the end of last year, including WILLCOM Inc., which are the promoter of Next-Generation PHS.

I believe that this year is also to present great opportunities as well as challenges to leap from PHS to Next-Generation PHS.

This year is most likely to be a reforming year.

I would like to make all possible effort for the prospective future of PHS in this particular year so that when I look back to this year later, I could proudly say that it is a fruitful year.
